CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago police officer has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after her husband, also a Chicago officer was fatally shot this week during a struggle in their home.

Thirty-nine-year-old Jacqueline Villasenor is charged with one felony count of involuntary manslaughter. She was scheduled to appear in bond court Friday.

Police said in a brief statement that Villasenor was off-duty and arguing with her husband Tuesday evening in their Northwest Side home when one of them took out a gun and they began fighting over it.

During the struggle, police say the 44-year-old husband suffered a single gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
