SIGH......

Husband says he accidentally shot wife

A woman in her 70s was shot dead Saturday, and her husband told investigators that it happened while he was cleaning a firearm police said.

Phoenix police were called to a home near Tatum and Cave Creek roads around 4:30 p.m. after the homeowner called 911, said Desert Horizon precinct Lt. Tina Gonzalez.

The husband, who is in his 70s, told police that he was in the bedroom cleaning his handgun when a round went through the window and struck his wife, who was outside cleaning the backyard, Gonzalez said. Their names were not released.

Detectives are still investigating and putting the pieces together, Gonzalez said.
