Woman Claims Self-Defense In Man's Death



A Gainesville woman who killed her boyfriend over the weekend said it was a case of self-defense.



No charges have been filed against Shannon Cherise Allen. She said Willie Love Alston threatened her with a knife before she shot him at their home early Sunday. Alston died at a hospital Sunday afternoon.



Investigators talked to Allen for several hours before deciding not to file any charges. The case is being turned over to the State Attorney's office, so charges are still possible after further review.



No subsequent stories about this incident were found.
