Pastor's daughter accidentally shot at church
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Authorities say the daughter of a pastor was accidentally shot in the head at a church in St. Petersburg.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office was called to the Grace Connection Church Sunday at about 12:24 p.m. Sunday.
Investigators say Moises Zambrana was showing his gun in a small closet to another church member - the victim's boyfriend, according to CBS affiliate WTSP - who was interested in buying a firearm. Zambrana reportedly took out the magazine of the Reuger 9mm weapon but did not know there was a bullet in the chamber. (Watch WTSP's report below.)
The gun went off and fired through a wall, striking 20-year-old Hannah Kelley. She was transported to Bayfront Medical Center to undergo surgery and remained in critical condition late Sunday.
"There is a big level of concern 'cause she may or may not survive. But we're all praying for her and, right now, I guess that's the best we can do," church member Tony Diehl told WTSP.
Deputies said Zambrana has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
No charges have been filed.
