A Nevada woman is being charged with attempted murder after she allegedly fired bullets at her husband for reading a pornographic book, which featured threesomes
On Sunday night, Anita Lane English, 69, tried to shoot her husband of seven years with a rifle in their Reno, Nev. home, after the book sparked a heated argument, according to Washoe County Sheriff’s Deputy Armando Avina.u00a0
“It sounds like Anita was upset, thinking that the husband was possibly insinuating something regarding them two and a friend,” the New York Daily News quoted as saying.
“At that time they did have another female guest at the residence who was just a friend of the family,” Avina explained.
Initially English, who was apparently drunk, tried to shoot him with a .30-30 rifle but the faulty lever action prevented her from using it. So she took a small handgun from another room and targeted her husband, also 69.
Luckily, English’s husband escaped from the bullets uninjured. He reached a nearby gas station unscathed and contacted the police, reported the Reno Gazette-Journal.
