Must have been out of the kitchen.

POTRERO (CBS) — A woman was killed early Tuesday when her husband, who had allegedly been drinking, accidentally shot a homemade cannon into the couple’s home.

Homicide detectives with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department are investigating the 33-year-old woman’s death, which took place in the 25000 block of Potrero Valley Road.

Authorities say she was found dead at 12:15 a.m. after a cannonball fired by her husband and another man slammed into a residence at the Twin Lakes Resort mobile home park.

It appears the accident happened while the two men were tinkering with the cannon.

Officials say the area, which is near the Mexican border, is known for unusual activity.

A Cal Fire dispatcher told San Diego’s CBS8 that one of the two men was transported to a local hospital with injuries he sustained during the blast.

This should be more shocking then it is.

SAN DIEGO, March 6 (Reuters) - A man's homemade cannon
killed his wife when the contraption suddenly went off early
Tuesday and tore into the couple's home in the California border
town of Potrero, authorities said.

The man had been drinking and was "freaking out" when
emergency responders arrived at the home, said a dispatcher with
the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

It was not clear what the man was doing with the cannon
before his wife was killed, but authorities have suggested the
death was accidental.

The woman killed by the cannon was 33 years old, said Cal
Fire spokesman Captain Mike Mohler.

Authorities have not released the names of the woman or her
husband.

There was a 4-year-old child at the home who was asleep and
not injured in the blast, Mohler said.

One man at the home -- possibly the husband -- was taken to
a local hospital for injuries, Mohler said. His condition was
not immediately clear.

San Diego Sheriff's Department homicide investigators on
Tuesday morning were at the scene of the cannon blast in
Portrero, said Lieutenant Kelly Martinez, a spokesman for the
agency. Potrero is just across the border from the Mexican town
of Tecate and less than 40 miles southeast of San Diego.

A woman in California was killed early this morning when a projectile fired from a homemade cannon allegedly fired by her husband crashed into their mobile home.

When authorities responded to a call for an explosion at about 12:15 a.m., they found an unusual scene.

“It looked like some type of cannon had been fired [towards] the exterior of a five-wheel trailer,” California Fire Capt. Mike Mohler told ABCNews.com. “[The projectile] went through the trailer, striking a 33-year-old woman and killing her.”

The woman, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead on the scene and her husband was taken to a hospital with unknown injuries, Mohler said.

It is not yet clear what the man was doing with the cannon or if the shot was accidental. Mohler did not know the size of the cannon, but said it may have been some type of “homemade contraption.”

The sheriff’s department is handling the homicide investigation.

The incident happened in Potrero, Calif., a town about 40 miles southeast of San Diego.

When asked if he had ever encountered a similar situation, Mohler said, “I would say that if it wasn’t the first, it hadn’t happened in a long time.”
