Katherine Shepard describes the shot that killed her boyfriend Matthew Willson as an “absolute freak of nature”.
The single bullet travelled 200 metres from a tree-lined park next to her apartment in Brookhaven, Georgia, through a 10-centimetre gap in the handrail of a stairwell walkway, piercing her bedroom wall and headboard before striking Willson in the head as he lay in bed beside her.
......
Willson, a gifted astrophysicist who grew up in England, had arrived in the US on 14 January last year to visit his long-term girlfriend of three years.
At 2am on 16 January, the couple were lying in bed at her home in the Park on Clairmont Apartments on Buford Highway, in northeastern Atlanta, when they heard shots ring out.
As the gunfire grew more intense, she called police.
“I’m sure they are just messing around,” Willson said to her as she reached for her phone, in what would turn out to be his final words.
Moments after calling 911, she heard an explosion beside her bed and noticed a piece of wall hit her leg. She turned on the light to see Willson slumped on the bed, bleeding from the head.
