Timothy Havens Says Wife Carolyn Havens Shot as Gun Went Off Accidentally During Sex

Things that make you go hmmm …

First NY Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress has a gun go off accidently at a NYC nightclub and now Timothy Havens claims a similar event occurred. Similar, but a much more different set of circumstances. 38 year old Timothy Havens told police that he accidently shot his wife while having sex. By the way, Carolyn Havens is in critical condition with a gun shot to her chest. Imagine that? Who is going to believe this story told to police?

A Tri-State woman is in critical condition Wednesday after police say her husband shot her while they were having sex.

Timothy Havens, 38, told Springfield police he was reaching for something on the nightstand when the pistol went off, hitting his estranged wife Carolyn in the upper chest. (Hear part of the 911 call)

Carolyn Havens, 42, is being treated at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.

This is isn’t the first time there’s been trouble for the Havens. Court documents showed Timothy served 60 days in jail for assaulting his wife and was ordered to go to anger management classes.

His arrest Tuesday for the weekend shooting was for violating a civil protection order that Carolyn had taken out against him earlier this year.
