An Adams Township woman has been charged with shooting her husband twice during an argument inside their garage Friday, Jan. 13, night, police said.

Heather A. King, 42, is facing a felony aggravated assault charge. She remains free on $25,000 bail.

Charging documents from the Adams Township Police Department state that officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel responded to a home in the 100 block of Pearce Road for reports of a man who had been shot.

First responders arrived at about 7:50 p.m. and found King’s husband bleeding “significantly” from gunshot wounds to both thighs. They applied tourniquets to a wound on his right thigh. Adams Township police took Heather King into custody.

King was transported to a trauma center where he underwent surgery, police said.

Documents state that King acknowledged she retrieved a 9 mm handgun from a cabinet, removed it from its holster and eventually fired multiple shots, striking her husband twice.

She told them she and her husband had been arguing in the garage.

Police said King admitted to being the shooter and provided a statement to police.

In that statement, King said while holding the weapon, her husband continued to argue with her while he paced inside the garage.

King told police her husband made the statements that he should kill her, questioned what she was going to do with the gun and told her “go ahead and do it” and “just shoot me, then” in addition to telling her she wouldn’t do it.

Her husband approached her, and when he was 15 to 20 feet from her, she fired an unknown number of shots, she said.

After realizing bullets had struck her husband, King immediately rendered aid and called 911 for medical assistance, documents said.

Adams police filed charges of felony aggravated assault against King with District Judge Amy Marcinkiewicz on Saturday in Evans City.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 24, before Marcinkiewicz.
