A 70-year-old woman was shot and killed by what may have been a stray bullet early this morning. Maggie Browder was in her living room, at 12212 S. Morgan St, when a bullet came through her front window a little after 6am.

Police say it appears as if a stray bullet struck Browder, but at least one neighbor who spoke with Browder's relatives isn't convinced it was random. She said Browder's relatives told her that Browder went to the door after someone rang the doorbell and that's when she was shot.

One of Browder's daughters was also home, and she called 911.

Police don't think Browder was the intended target, but they're still investigating. [CBS 2, Trib, S-T]
