Mulher do Kentucky admite ter atirado no marido durante discussão

Heather Edens foi acusada de homicídio pela morte de seu marido, James Edens, após uma discussão na casa do casal no Condado de Cumberland, Kentucky. As autoridades afirmam que ela atirou na perna dele, o que o levou a dirigir para longe e morrer por perda de sangue dentro de seu veículo. Edens admitiu o disparo quando questionada pela polícia.

Na noite de terça-feira, Heather Edens, de 52 anos, e seu marido James Edens, de 60, discutiram em sua residência na Red Banks Road, em uma área rural do sul do Kentucky, próxima à fronteira com o Tennessee, segundo a Polícia Estadual do Kentucky (KSP). Edens teria pedido que o marido fosse embora e empunhou uma arma antes de atirar nele, informaram as autoridades. O Gabinete do Xerife do Condado de Cumberland respondeu a relatos de um tiroteio e de uma colisão envolvendo um único veículo, solicitando a assistência da KSP. Os policiais encontraram James Edens sofrendo de um ferimento a bala na perna dentro do veículo, onde ele sangrava profusamente, conforme relatado pela afiliada da Fox em Lexington, a WDKY. Ele foi levado a um hospital local, mas teve a morte confirmada no local. Os investigadores interrogaram Heather Edens, que admitiu ter atirado no marido durante a discussão. Ela alegou que o disparo 'deve ter ricocheteado no concreto', segundo alega a polícia. Edens foi registrada na Cadeia Regional do Condado de Adair na quarta-feira e está detida sob fiança de US$ 1 milhão. Ela deve comparecer ao tribunal no dia 22 de abril.
