Woman who shot husband while hunting will get guns back
Associated Press
BUTLER, Pa. - A woman who accidentally killed her husband as they hunted deer will have her guns returned to her.
Investigators had taken away Jan Campbell's guns after she shot William Campbell during a December 2004 hunting trip with their son. Jan Campbell, of Center, said the gun misfired and pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of shooting at human beings. She was fined $2,000.
A judge ruled Tuesday that Campbell can have the guns back after July 24, 2006, the last day she may appeal her conviction.
Campbell said she plans to give the guns to her 14-year-old son, but that she'll destroy the gun that was used in her husband's shooting.
"They are family heirlooms handed down from generation to generation from grandfather to father," Campbell said.
