A woman from the Ohio, Indiana, Michigan Tri-State area lays critically ill at the Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, after being shot by her husband who says it happened while they were having sex.

Springfield police said that 38 year-old Timothy Havens alleged he was reaching over to the nightstand to get something when his gun went off by accident, injuring his estranged wife in her chest.

The 42 year-old Carolyn Havens had previously taken out a civil protection order against Timothy and he was arrested in violation of that order after the weekend shooting. In fact trouble has hovered over the Havens for some time, with court documents showing Timothy spent 60 days incarcerated for assaulting Carolyn. He was also ordered to take classes in anger management at that time.
