Authorities said the woman’s 31-year-old son reportedly picked up an assault rifle before shooting through a wall in their home, striking his mother.

It is unclear if the gun was intentionally aimed at his mother, however, Gonzalez said the son was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time of the incident.

The woman was reportedly taken to the hospital and is said to be in stable condition, according to officials.
