Picking a moment when her husband and daughter were both absent from the house, Mrs. Mack VanPelt, 50 years old, shot herself through the body with a .38-caliber revolver at her home at Huntersville just before noon Monday. The bullet entered just below the heart, struck a rib and went out the back. It is said she will probably recover.
Poor health is assigned the cause of the shooting.
