“This was a senseless death caused by a random bullet. Obviously, she wasn’t the target so it’s so unfortunate, but that just goes to speak to the dangers of just having so many guns in irresponsible hands,” he said.

They were seated in the living room, according to the woman who called 911, arranging a funeral for a family member when Lewis was shot in the back.
