MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — An Alabama woman has been charged with murder after a fatal shooting incident that took place Monday night, police said Friday.
Melody Christensen, 44, of Centre, AL, was charged with murder and illegal discharge of a firearm days after police responded to reports of shots fired at a home in Middletown.
Police said they responded to the home shortly before 11 p.m. Monday and learned two people were shot - including Christensen.
A male was also found inside the house with gunshot wounds. Police say it was a domestic violence incident.
According to a release, Christensen was arrested Thursday at an East Hartford hotel.
