Magoffin County, Kentucky



From Evansville's (IN) 14WFIE.com of May 4, 2004:



KY Woman Not Charged For Killing Husband During Fight



Investigators say a Magoffin County, Kentucky man who was killed in a shooting Saturday was trying to strike his wife when she pulled the trigger.



Forty-five-year-old Mark Arnett of Salyersville was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting about 5:30 p.m. by Magoffin County Deputy Coroner Herman Dyer.



Kentucky State Police Detective Steve Bowman said in a report that his wife, Marie Arnett, shot him with a .357 caliber handgun during a fight.



Bowman says Marie Arnett hasn't been criminally charged because witnesses said she shot in self-defense.



But the case will be presented to a grand jury, which will decide whether charges should be filed.
