A Florida family is grieving after a mother shot and killed her 27-year-old daughter:

Detectives have started their investigation into the events, which unfolded at 11:51 p.m. on Tuesday when the woman was asleep in her bed and thought she heard an intruder enter the house, according to St. Cloud police.

She told police she heard the person quickly approaching her, so she fired a single shot. Police would not say where the daughter was shot.

The daughter died from the gunshot wound. Police are not releasing the names of those involved:
