Gina’s husband, Billy Williams, was administering first aid to his wife when officers arrived, police said.
According to reports, one of their children heard a noise at the front door of the home and thought someone was trying to break into the house, police said.
The girl then woke up her father and told him someone was trying to break in. Williams then got a gun, police said.
Williams, however, was unaware that his wife, who wasn’t scheduled to come home from her nightshift until 8 a.m., had reportedly come home early.
When Williams opened the door he was met by a person in the dark and fired one shot, which hit his wife in the neck and killed her, police said.
