PHOENIX - Phoenix police say a man was unloading his gun when it accidentally went off and bullet struck and killed his wife.
Police spokesman Trent Crump says 70-year-old Mary Shaw was pronounced dead in the 4:30 p.m. shooting Saturday in Cave Creek.
Her husband, who was not identified in the police statement, called authorities and said he accidentally shot his wife. She was struck in the head.
Crump says the shooting appears accidental to investigators. He says the man was inside his home unloading the gun to pack it for a trip when it discharged. The bullet went through a window and struck his wife who was in the backyard.
He says the husband was questioned and released pending a review of the case.
