About two years before she allegedly poisoned her husband with a common eye drop chemical, a South Carolina woman reportedly shot her spouse with a crossbow in an incident that was initially determined to have been an accident.
Law enforcement is taking a fresh look at the previous shooting, according to the Rock Hill Herald.
A 2016 incident report obtained by the Herald shows that Lana Sue Clayton, 52, told investigators in May 2016 that she’d shot husband Stephen Clayton that morning with a crossbow while “trying to load” an arrow.
The bow “accidentally” triggered after she moved from downstairs to the couple’s bedroom area upstairs, she said, according to the report.
Stephen was shot in the back of the head while he was sleeping and “woke up yelling and bleeding from the wound,” the report shows. NBC News and local TV stations WCNC and WSOC confirmed the 2016 incident. (A spokesperson for the York County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.)
Officers who interviewed Stephen in 2016 were told “he was fine and the shooting was accidental,” according to the Herald, citing the report. Stephen added that he “did not believe his wife was trying to kill him.” He said she sometimes would sleepwalk.

So she’s a klutz. Is that a crime?
Why the heck did he stay with her after that?
Fool me once, shame on me...
Did he take an arrow in the knee?
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

There are a bunch of drugs on the shelf that will kill/hurt you if you eat them. Most of them specifically state ‘Do not ingest’ or ‘Topical use only’.
