Investigators say shooting death an accident

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Investigators say the shooting death of a Brunswick County woman Monday appears to have been an accident.

The Sheriff’s Office says an autopsy on Tammy Lammonds shows she died from a single gun shot wound to her back. Investigators say as Lammonds and her fiancé Thomas Lovett left their home near Supply, a gun Lovett carries each day fell out of his pocket, hit the floor and went off hitting Lammonds.

Deputies have turned the case over to the District Attorney to decide if any charges should be filed.
