A woman in Fayetteville, N.C. allegedly shot her husband in the chest when he came home to surprise her with breakfast Friday morning, television station WTVD reported.

Police said Tiffany Segule, 27, shot her husband, Zia Segule, 28, after he returned home to surprise her and set off their home’s alarm system, the station reported.

She had returned to bed after her husband left for work and thought there was an intruder, according to police. She fired a shot through her bedroom door, authorities told the TV station.

The bullet hit her husband in the chest, but police told WTVD that he was able to walk and talk after being shot. He was released from the hospital hours after the incident.

He told WTVD that he was “good.”

Police told WTVD Zia had entered the home through the front door but they could not confirm whether he had announced himself or attempted to turn off the alarm.

Tiffany was taken to the police department for questioning and the investigation was ongoing.

  2. So she’s at home, in her bedroom with the door closed and the alarm goes off. Even though she’s armed, her first thought is to shoot through the door ,rather than call the police?

    Maybe she smelled those Huevos Rancheros coming at her and suspected that an illegal alien had invaded her home.

  4. American exceptionalism! We’re the shootiest!

  5. I’d like to believe she wasn’t trying to kill her husband intentionally, but her reaction is just so illogical.
