A Florida man appears to have mistaken a noise outside his bedroom door and it had deadly consequences.
Florida law enforcement officials say the man thought an intruder was outside his door at around 1:30 am, grabbed his gun, and started shooting.
The only problem was that the noise was being made by his pregnant wife and not an intruder.
The man frantically called 911, telling dispatchers he accidentally shot his wife. She was taken to a hospital where she died.
The sheriff says the man gave detectives a detailed account of what happened. Officials are warning people with guns to be careful before using deadly force.
