Kvinna i Kentucky erkänner att hon skjutit sin make under gräl

Heather Edens har åtalats för mord på sin make James Edens efter ett gräl i deras hem i Cumberland County, Kentucky. Myndigheterna uppger att hon sköt honom i benet, vilket ledde till att han körde iväg och förblödde i sitt fordon. Edens erkände skjutningen när hon förhördes av polisen.

Under tisdagskvällen grälade Heather Edens, 52, och hennes make James Edens, 60, i sin bostad på Red Banks Road i det lantliga södra Kentucky nära gränsen till Tennessee, enligt delstatspolisen i Kentucky (KSP). Edens ville enligt uppgift att maken skulle lämna hemmet och hon drog fram ett vapen innan hon sköt honom, uppger myndigheterna. Cumberland Countys sheriffkontor svarade på rapporter om en skottlossning och en singelolycka och begärde assistans från KSP. Polisen fann James Edens med ett skotthål i benet inne i fordonet, där han blödde kraftigt, vilket rapporterats av Fox-anslutna WDKY i Lexington. Han fördes till ett lokalt sjukhus men dödförklarades där. Utredare förhörde Heather Edens, som erkände att hon skjutit sin make under grälet. Hon hävdade att skottet 'måste ha rikoschetterat mot betongen', enligt polisens uppgifter. Edens fördes till Adair County Regional Jail på onsdagen och hålls häktad mot en borgen på 1 miljon dollar. Hon förväntas infinna sig i domstol den 22 april.
