Wife: Mistook and Killed Husband
ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. (AP) -- A woman who
apparently mistook her husband for a prowler shot
him to death in their mobile home, police said.
John Genter, 35, was shot in the chest early Sunday,
the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said. The couple
had been married six years.
Felicia Genter, 28, told investigators her husband
woke and thought he'd heard noises outside, said
Kevin Doll, spokesman for the sheriff's office.
Genter gave her a handgun and told her to lock the
bedroom door. He then took another handgun and
went to investigate.
She heard the outside door close and called out her
husband's name twice after she saw a shadow
underneath the bedroom door, Doll said.
When no one replied, she shot into the door six times.
One of the rounds hit her husband and killed him.
No charges have been filed.
