Woman shot and killed in motel when guest in another room unintentionally discharges gun

48-year-old Traci Lynn Reedy, of Irving, Texas, was with her husband and teenage son in a motel room at the Mictorel Inn and Suites in Irving. Traci was in bed, watching television when a bullet fired from an adjoining room came through the wall and struck her in the chest.

According to police, "The bullet came through the wall that was across from where she was lying, went through that wall, through the room, and struck her in the chest as she was lying in bed, sitting up." Reedy was taken to the local hospital where she died of her injuries.

Police have arrested 36-year-old Michael Gray, of Dallas, and charged him with criminally negligent homicide. Gray, who was in the adjoining room with his girlfriend, said he was handling the gun when it unintentionally discharged.
