A 19-year-old pregnant woman was shot and killed while she was sleeping after someone opened fire on her southern Arizona home on Sunday morning, according to reports.

Doctors, however, were able to deliver her baby, the Tucson Police Department said in a news release. Several people in the home were awoken at 4:30 a.m. hearing the sounds of Jasmine Vega screaming before they found her “unresponsive,” police said.
