Katherine Hoover, from New Port Richey, Fla., was visiting a friend in Brooksville, Fla. on Saturday along with her husband. Hoover was recently married and five months pregnant.
William DeHayes was showing Hoover his gun collection. While he was showing her his .22 caliber revolver, it accidentally fired and shot Hoover in the head, according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.
Hoover was taken to a local hospital and then airlifted to Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Her unborn child could not be saved, and Hoover died in the emergency room early Sunday morning.
