Crime Alert, I'm Nancy Grace.

An Oklahoma woman holding a child sitting on her front porch fatally shot on Christmas by a neighbor

whose target practicing in his backyard blocks away.

Cody Wayne Adams trying out a new gun he purchased as a Christmas gift.

Authorities allege a stray bullet leaves Adams' yard,

strikes Sandra Phelps in her right arm while she's holding the child with her left arm.

Adams 33 arrested on suspicion first- degree manslaughter. A real Christmas

miracle. The baby not hit. Jennifer Gould has the details. Nancy Sandra Phelps, a five-time cancer

survivor who spent years cheating death, was taken out by a single Christmas bullet while

cradling that infant grandchild on a holiday afternoon. Sandy, or nanny, as she was known,

was relaxing on a covered porch around 3.15 p.m. in the Meridian area about 90 miles southwest of Oklahoma City, when the crack of gunfire

began echoing from the north. Witnesses say Sandra remained eerily calm, even joking with her family,

as the shots rang out saying, quote, someone got a new gun for Christmas, end quote, unaware that the weapon was currently being aimed in her direction.

Moments later, the grandmother let out a simple heartbreaking ouch and collapsed into the love seat.

First responders found a scene of absolute horror. Sandra had been struck by a

high-caliber round that tore through her upper right arm and steep downward angles before burying itself

deep into her chest. She was pronounced dead on the spot, still clutching that infant she'd been

protecting just minutes prior.

One of her granddaughters spoke to ABC 5 News.

The Trail of Blood led deputies nearly a third of a mile away to the backyard of 33-year-old Cody Adams.
