Mother Fatally Shoots Daughter On Accident During Argument With Boyfriend
A mother was arrested Tuesday on charges of killing her 25-year-old daughter at a Winter Haven home, authorities said.Police said Adele Bing, 52, had an argument with her boyfriend, James Lane, earlier in the day and allegedly hit him with a gun. Lane went to the hospital to be treated for his injuries when officers said they received a call about a shooting at Adele Bing’s home.Authorities said Ruby Bing went to visit her mother and knocked at her front door while holding her 4-month-old baby.Police said Adele Bing was still upset about the argument she had with Lane and thought he was the person knocking. Investigators said she armed herself with a baseball bat and a handgun, and as she opened the door, she fired a shot, hitting her daughter in the upper chest.The 4-month-old was not injured, but Ruby Bing died at the scene, authorities said.Neighbor Sally Newcomb watched as police told the woman her daughter had died.“She screamed, dropped to the ground and screamed,” said Newcomb.What a horribly sad, senseless tragedy and yet another reason why violence should never be the answer as a means to solve problems.
