The woman killed by a stray bullet in the town of Helen in North Georgia was a 68-year-old from Houston, Texas, the White County coroner said Monday.
May Araim was struck in the side when a gun was accidentally discharged, firing a bullet across Main Street on Saturday, according to police. Bystanders attempted to help the woman, but she died at the scene.
Officers from the Helen Police Department responded to a call of shots fired at 10:41 p.m. Saturday and first found a 53-year-old man, identified as Glenn Patrick Lampien, sitting on a bench, his hand bleeding. Across the street, investigators then found Araim, who had apparently been shot by the same bullet.
Lampien, of Jasper, was charged with involuntary manslaughter.
