Husband In Texas Shoots Wife Dead After Mistaking Her For An Intruder Around 4:15 AM on Saturday morning, a man was awaken out of his sleep in a panic. He told police he heard noises coming from inside his home and grabbed his gun in fear that he and his wife’s home was being invaded. After reportedly seeing a light and a shadowy figure in the distance, the man fired a shot which hit it’s mark and dropped the target. Upon further review, the person who was struck with the fatal bullet was actually the man’s wife, 48-year-old Debora Kelly. Mrs. Kelly had been shot one time directly in the chest and was killed instantly. There have been many stories like this in the past where a husband or wife kills the other under the pretense of “I thought he/she was a burglar”, so the police have questioned the unnamed man extensively for any sign that he’s attempting to get away with murder. A neighbor, Dale Hollrah, contends that the Kelly’s were a happy couple with no sign of discord when he spoke to KSAT : “(I’m) just totally shocked. They have been married several years and seemed to be doing just fine,” Hollrah said. Hollrah said the husband owns a contracting company and did some work on his house a few years ago. He said they got along very well. “I would walk over see him outside, walk over and talk with him, just normal neighbors,” he said. That’s why Hollrah said he believes the whole thing was a terrible accident. “At this point I say yes,” he said. “She travels. She’s in the medical world and I’ve talked to her recently.” We’re not saying that Mrs. Kelly was definitely a victim of a cold-blooded murder, but this Hollrah guy is pretty naive if he thinks that just because he had some cordial convos with the Mr. that there is no way that he could have killed his wife.
