A Lawrenceburg woman was airlifted to a Nashville hospital Wednesday afternoon after she sustained a gunshot wound inside her home.

Authorities were dispatched to the Mattoxtown Road home of Kimberly Bivens, age 35, and Rick Allen Lewis, age 40, around 12:30pm.  The couple was reportedly cleaning a .22 caliber rifle when the firearm discharged striking Bivens in the upper torso.
