A 73-year-old woman who died when she was struck by a stray bullet while sitting in her kitchen has been identified as Shirley Pfeil.
Investigators say the bullet entered her home off Dunn Road in Riley Township Sunday afternoon.
Detectives tell 7 Action News a neighbor was shooting target practice at the time. They believe he may have missed a large pile of dirt he was trying to hit.
They have seized at least two rifles from his home.
Pfeil was rushed to the hospital where she later died.
“This is really hard. She was my best friend and I don’t know what I’ll do without her," said Pfeil's daugther Debra Bishop. "I just hope that somebody learns from this so it never happens. She was a wonderful woman.”
Charges may come soon.
