PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Authorities say a domestic dispute at a Philadelphia home ended with a 69-year-old man fatally shooting his wife in the chest.
The shooting occurred around 11 p.m. Sunday in the 5000 block of North 7th Street.
Police found the 68-year-old victim when they responded to a 911 call. She was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead there a short time later.
The woman’s husband was taken into custody. But it wasn’t clear Monday what charges he was facing.
Authorities say a motive for the shooting remains under investigation. They haven’t said whether anyone else was in the home when the shooting occurred.
No other injuries were reported in the shooting.
