Pastor’s wife dies after she was hit by stray bullet while sleeping beside husband

The wife of a Georgia pastor reportedly shot while asleep beside her husband in their home, has died one week after the tragic incident. 

Lashunda Heath-Ellison, wife of Temple of Faith Ministries Pastor Mac Ellison, was struck in the head by a stray bullet, while the couple was asleep around 12:30 a.m. last Wednesday at their DeKalb County home, in Georgia, United States. 

“Today October 10, 2022, My wife Lashunda Heath-Ellison gained her wings. I believe to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Please give us a moment to process this. My Perfect Angel is gone but forever in our hearts,” the pastor wrote on his Facebook page. 

Mac Ellison said he suddenly woke up to find his wife was unresponsive and called their children into their room to help turn her over in bed. Rushed to the hospital, doctors reportedly found a bullet in her head.
