A Colorado single mom who managed to beat cancer four times was killed when a stranger who claimed he was just cleaning his gun fired bullets into her home, cops said.

Jennifer James, 49, was fatally shot when 20-year-old Ebenezer Worku allegedly opened fire from his car while parked outside the victim’s house in Berthoud, north of Denver, on April 28.

The gunman told police that he accidentally shot at the home with his Glock 22 handgun — and then fired again when he was trying to clear the chamber, KDVR reported, citing a police affidavit.

One of the bullets tore through a window and ended up striking James in the arm and chest, cops said.

The mom of four managed to call 911 before she collapsed and stopped breathing.

First responders attempted first aid but she was pronounced dead on the scene.

Two of her kids were home at the time of the deadly ordeal, police said.

“It just makes me mad that such a senseless act of violence occurred,” said James’ oldest daughter, Ashley James.

“You never think that’s going to happen to you.”

The slain mom had beaten cancer four times, her family said.

“She was the most selfless mom that anyone could ask for,” Ashley said. “She kind of devoted her whole life to us kids, so I’ll be forever grateful for everything that she did for us.”

Her alleged killer was nabbed after cops used surveillance footage and license plate reader data to track him down.

Worku was charged with first-degree murder. He was booked into the Larimer County Jail and was being held on a $1.25 million cash-only bond.
