Well, at least he said he was sorry! Thank God we have these Heroes to protect us! This usually happens to a family dog -- to the people who think that's okay, as you see here the same thing can happen to innocent people.
SPRING VALLEY — As a Spring Valley woman recovered from a gunshot wound Tuesday in a hospital, her family is demanding answers from the sheriff’s deputy who accidentally fired the bullet.
Sheriff’s officials said Jennifer Orey, 36, was shot in the arm during a surprise encounter with a deputy in her back yard Sunday night. But her family said the bullet actually entered her chest, then went through her arm and ricocheted off her pinky finger.
The incident occurred sometime after 10:25 p.m. as deputies were searching Orey’s neighborhood for a prowler. Someone in a ski mask reportedly had been seen in a driveway on Leigh Avenue.
Orey was at her home a few blocks away when she heard a noise outside, said her brother, James Morgan, who spoke with her in the hospital.

The deputy’s gun, aimed at her chest “point blank,” went off as Orey turned to the side.

The deputy reportedly told her, “I’m sorry, you startled me,” Morgan said.
