Story out of Hendersonville, Tennessee:
The Sumner County man charged in the death of his 11-year-old daughter told authorities the shooting was an accident, according to police documents.
According to an affidavit, Timothy Batts first told police that his daughter, Timea, woke him up and said she had been shot after getting off the bus. Police obtained a search warrant and found evidence that he had fired his gun inside the house.
Batts later went to the police department to admit he was lying, according to investigators.
Police said he admitted that he accidentally shot his daughter after being awoken to a sound in the home. He reportedly grabbed the gun from under the dresser and fired a shot when she yelled and scared him.
She later died at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Timea, a student at Knox Doss Middle School, had just attended her first day of school earlier that day. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
