OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa man is awaiting sentencing for drunkenly firing a rifle and wounding a woman inside her home instead of a deer he’d hoped to kill. Court records say 35-year-old Lee Ryals, of Ottumwa, pleaded guilty Wednesday. Authorities say 73-year-old Janet Wright was cleaning her stove on Jan. 4 last year near Ottumwa, when she heard a loud noise and felt pain in the back of her head. Wright drove herself to a hospital, where doctors removed a bullet.

Authorities say Ryals was drunk when he pulled the trigger on the deck of a camper where he’d been staying. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 29th.
