GROESBECK (September 25, 2009)—A rural Limestone County woman accidentally shot herself Friday morning at her rural residence, sheriff’s deputies said.
Deborah Mills, 51, was attempting to take a loaded .22-caliber rifle out of her house Friday morning when the weapon discharged and the bullet struck her in the torso, deputies said.
Deputies responded to the address on Limestone County Road 607 at about 9:45 a.m., along with Mart Volunteer Fire Department members, who set up a landing zone for a medical helicopter.
Mills was flown to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, in Waco.
Deputies said she is expected to survive.
Deputies also told News 10 they have responded to Mills house several times on domestic issues in the past few days.
