A British astrophysicist was killed when a stray bullet travelled through nearby woodland and a flat wall to hit him as he lay in bed.
Dr Matthew Willson, 31, from Chertsey, Surrey, had been woken by the sound of "rapid gunfire" as he slept alongside his girlfriend Katherine Shephard at an apartment complex in Brookhaven, Atlanta, at 2am on Sunday.
He was then struck by a bullet and later died from a single gunshot wound to the head.
