Man claims he accidentally shot his wife while they were having sex

An Urbana Township woman is listed in critical after a strange accident. Investigators say 38-year-old Carolyn Havens was shot in the chest by her husband, Timothy Havens.



The call for help came from a home on East County Line Road early on Sunday morning. Timothy Havens called 911 stating he had accidentally shot his wife while they were having sex.



Havens told authorities he was reaching for something on a night stand while they were being intimate, when the .38 caliber pistol went off, striking his wife in the upper chest. Champaign County Prosecutor Nick Selvaggio said the incident was under investigation.
