Wife kills husband she thought was a prowler

A woman who apparently mistook her husband for a prowler shot him to death in their Florida mobile home.

Felicia Genter, 28, said her husband John woke and thought he’d heard noises outside, said Kevin Doll, spokesman for the sheriff’s office in Zephyrhills.

He 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 35-year-old husband and killed him. The couple had been married six years.

No charges have been filed.
