(AP) — Officers are investigating the shooting of a woman at her home in Loup City.

The Sherman County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to a call a little after 10 p.m. Wednesday. Sandra Hill told deputies that her husband, Michael, had fallen asleep with a handgun on his chest. She says the gun accidentally went off when she tried to awaken him, and the bullet struck one of her hips.

She was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney.
