Her injury is not believed to be life-threatening at this time, said Jefferson County sheriff's Chief Deputy Randy Christian. The incident happened at about 8 p.m. when Hooper's sons started arguing. They both pulled out guns and started shooting. Hooper was in the kitchen and tried to run out the back door. A single bullet struck her in the back of the head. Family members rushed her to the hospital.
Sheriff's deputies found one of the brothers at a home on Hillside Avenue in Bessemer. The other turned himself into the sheriff's office in Bessemer. Michael Hooper, 57, and Joe Hooper, 52, are charged with first-degree assault. They are in the county jail with bond set at $30,000.
"Guns and alcohol are a dangerous combination. Throw a little stupidity in there and it almost cost a life," Christian said. "They were within an inch of killing their own mother. It doesn't get much worse than that."

She obviously did a great job of parenting...
So they don't distinguish between which one shot the bullet that hit her, and charge them both equally? Excellent.
If only Mom had had a gun herself, this tragedy wouldn't have happened because she would have been able to protect herself!
/I hope you know I'm kidding. The USA is overly fond of firearms.
