Detective sues Sig Sauer after she says her holstered P320 handgun nearly killed her

“Gun owners don't want to think that their gun can just go off,” said Det. Brittany Hilton.

Det. Brittney Hilton had no idea she had just been shot. All she said she felt at first was an incredible amount of pain, and a “very sick feeling.” “I was cold at some points, shaking. The fear kind of takes over, the adrenaline takes over,” Hilton told ABC News. “I just said, ‘Am I going to die?’” “I said, ‘Please just tell my kids that I love them and don't let them find out on social media that I've been shot,’” she continued. “I didn't know if I was going to make it to the hospital.” Hilton, a mom of three who has been with the Bridge City, Texas, Police Department for 11 years, said the bullet came within one millimeter -- the edge of a penny -- from killing her.
