Detroit woman's deadly hug with cop a "freak accident": Lawyer (CBS/AP) DETROIT - The death of a woman shot in the chest after she hugged an off-duty police officer from behind during a party is a tragic, unfathomable accident, Detroit's police chief said Monday. Adaisha Miller was dancing and celebrating what would have been her 25th birthday the next day, when she hugged the officer from behind during a party Sunday, her mother and authorities said. She died later of gunshot wounds to the chest. Police Chief Ralph Godbee told reporters at a news conference her death is an "unfathomable" accident and the officer is "very remorseful." "We are profoundly sad at their loss," he said, referring to Miller's family. Godbee said the gun was in a waist holster made of " a very soft neoprene type material," which would have allowed the trigger to be activated. He said there's no evidence the officer fired the gun, and he believes the gun discharged after Miller hugged the officer from behind during a party at the officer's home. "There was some manipulation along the officer's waistline (that) he did not control," Godbee told reporters. The officer is on desk duty while the case is fully investigated. His name was not officially released, but witnesses told CBS Detroit affiliate WWJ that he is Officer Issac Parrirh. Police union lawyer John Goldpaugh said the officer didn't know Miller. "This was just a freak accident," Goldpaugh said, according to WWJ. They were having a party and the next thing, a woman is dead. He's devastated by what happened. Police said previously that the bullet punctured Miller's lung and hit her heart, and she died at a hospital. Her mother, Yolanda McNair, said the shooting never should have happened. "All she wanted to do was enjoy the weekend for her birthday," McNair said, WWJ reported.
