Woman who fatally shot herself in eye was adjusting her bra holster, St. Joseph police say
ST. JOSEPH, MI -- A woman who accidentally shot herself in the eye on New Years Day at her Lake Michigan home was adjusting the handgun in her bra holster, police say.
St. Joseph Public Safety detectives are still waiting on the full autopsy report in the death of Christina Bond, 55, but released the new details to the Kalamazoo Gazette on Wednesday.
"She was having trouble adjusting her bra holster, couldn't get it to fit the way she wanted it to. She was looking down at it and accidentally discharged the weapon," said St. Joseph Public Safety Director Mark Clapp.
Officers responded to 396 Upton Drive at 5:10 p.m. Jan. 1 to find Bond with a gunshot wound to the eye. She was taken to Lakeland Hospital and then airlifted to Bronson Methodist Hospital where she died the next day.
According to her obituary, published in the Herald-Palladium, Bond spent two years in the U.S. Navy after high school. She was an administrator at Road to Life Church for 15 years and often ministered at the Berrien County Jail.
She had also been recently elected as precinct delegate for St. Joseph Charter Township precinct 1.
