St. Louis — The victim, 26 year-old Becca Campbell was a passenger in a car involved in an auto accident. Her 33-year-old boyfriend was driving, sources told CNN.
The boyfriend told police the couple had bought a gun because of fears of unrest related to the pending grand jury decision on the shooting of Michael Brown, the sources said.
The woman was waving the gun around saying, “We’re ready for Ferguson,” the man told police.
The boyfriend ducked to get out of the way of the gun and accidentally rear-ended another car.
The accident caused the gun to go off and she was struck by a bullet in the head, the sources said.
