A woman is facing charges after police said she shot her boyfriend after an argument over his snoring, according to the Brevard County Sheriff's Office.
Units were initially called out to a home on Emerald Lake Drive in unincorporated Cocoa in reference to a shooting.
Upon arrival, 47-year-old Lorie Morin and her boyfriend, who is the victim of the shooting, told officials that the shooting was accidental.
