KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kearney woman arrested late on Tuesday night now faces charges in the killing of her husband.
....
A probable cause statement says Hoffner-Allen called police and said she had shot her husband in the chest and he wasn’t breathing. Emergency workers attempted life-saving measures, but declared him deceased.

Investigators found evidence of some kind of incident where drywall had fallen on the floor, and a spent shell casing was found at the bottom of a staircase. The shell casing matched rounds found in a 9 mm pistol recovered from the scene.

I see in this article:
Hoffner-Allen appeared with an attorney at her arraignment on Thursday and pleaded not guilty. Her bond remains set at $250,000. Her next court date is Thursday, August 15.

@Niner shoot she already posted bond. I was looking under the wrong name on Case Net it was under Hoffner. Then showed up as Hoffner-Allen.
