A pharmacy student was allegedly shot and killed by her friend after they became paranoid from smoking weed, police said. 
26-year-olf Ariel Spillner, was killed last week in Milwaukee after spending the evening celebrating the birthday of her pal Jamica Simon Mills, 32. The shooting happened around 9.40pm, on November 4.
Mills claims to have accidentally shot Ariel after becoming paranoid that her friend would stab her while they smoked marijuana together, according to the criminal complaint.
Mills who she shot herself in the stomach during the chaotic episode, insists that she did not mean to kill her friend. 
In her police interview Mills said Spillner was supposed to cut her dog’s hair with scissors, but she became paranoid that her friend would use them to attack her. She then retrieved a gun from her bedroom. 
When she returned Mills said, Spillner made a ‘hand motion’ that panicked her and led her to shoot her.
Responding officers found Mills on the floor inside her home, conscious but with a gunshot wound in the torso. Ariel Spillner was pronounced dead at the scene. According to the medical examiner’s report the bullet struck Spillner, piercing both lungs and her aorta.
A Ruger LCP .380 caliber handgun and two spent .380 caliber casings were were recovered from the scene.

According to the complaint, Mills was observed having other adverse, seemingly strange reactions to smoking marijuana.
When first responders arrived, she was not wearing clothes and was combative as she was transferred to the hospital, including to hospital staff who treated her injuries.
Police said that she was initially uncooperative when first interviewed and told investigators that she could not remember what happened between waking up in her living room and arriving at hospital. 
Mills initially gave police a different narrative of events, where she was not the shooter, but later said it was incorrect.

The shooting unfolded around 9.40pm on Nov 4. Cops were called to the scene found both women suffering gunshot wounds. Spillner was dead while Mills who was shot wound in the stomach was conscious 

She allegedly changed her story, admitting she and Ariel both became paranoid after smoking weed together. The use of marijuana for recreational purposes is illegal in Milwaukee. 
She admitted to detectives that although she became anxious as Ariel was holding scissors to cut her dog’s hair, her friend never made any threats to stab her. 
After firing shooting her guest, she started walking towards her front door. That is when she accidentally shot herself in the stomach.

The Milwaukee pharmacy student has been described as ‘an ambitious and kind-hearted student ‘with the most infectious laugh’ 

A GoFundMe set up to help the family pay for funeral expenses, has raised $14,027 of the $28,000 goal.
Ariel Spillner was in her final year of Pharmacy school at Concordia University, Wisconsin.
Her sister Courtney told WMTV: ‘She was literally the best person you could ask for as a friend, as a sister, as a daughter. 
‘She was the best to everyone. She would be there for anyone, no matter what you needed, when you needed it.’ 
Courtney said her sister would call her at random times to talk about her life, and she said she, ‘answered every single time, and I’m going to miss that.’
She said their final conversation came just an hour before the shooting, and she recalled ‘the last thing we said to each other was that we loved each other, so I am forever holding that memory close’.

Ariel’s family said she was ‘the best to everyone’ she met, and ‘would be there for anyone, no matter what you needed, when you needed it’ . Her sister disclosed that their final conversation came just an hour before the shooting on Tuesday Nov. 4

Ariel’s loved ones said they have been left shocked and confused by the shooting.
Courtney said they ‘don’t know anyone who would want to hurt Ariel in any way, shape or form. And it’s hard that an apparent friend would do this to her.’ 
‘To have this happen, it is bizarre, it is overwhelming,’ she said. ‘I don’t know what to believe. I really don’t.’ 
Ariel’s family say they oppose handing Mills a potential plea deal, and hope that the pharmacy student ‘gets the justice that she deserves’.
‘She doesn’t have anyone to speak on her behalf on what happened there,’ Courtney said.
