Wife shot husband ‘until he didn’t move’ during argument, Georgia cops say
A Georgia woman originally said she shot her husband by accident — but later said she shot him “until he didn’t move” during a fight, police say.
Officers with the Clayton County Police Department responded to a call about a shooting at a Jonesboro home around 12:30 a.m. Thursday. While they were on their way to the home, police say 35-year-old Rhonda Tucker told dispatchers she was arguing with her husband and “accidentally shot” him.
Police “immediately detained” Tucker when they arrived at the home and found her husband, 35-year-old Bryan Tucker, dead in the master bedroom, according to a news release from the police department.
Detectives were called to the home to interview Tucker, and she told them that an argument with her husband had escalated into a fight, police say.
She told detectives that during the fight, she grabbed a handgun, followed her husband and shot him “until he didn’t move,” police say.
Rhonda Tucker was taken into custody and is accused of “malice murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a weapon during commission of crime,” police say.
Police have not released additional information as of Thursday afternoon.
Jonesboro is located about 18 miles south of Atlanta.
