Louisiana wife shoots abusive
husband “multiple times.”
By Ramon Antonio Vargas
A woman fatally shot her husband as he beat her and tried to
strangle her in a Metairie home Friday, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office
said Saturday. Investigators did not book her with a crime after questioning
her.
Jefferson Parish Coroner
Gerry Cvitanovich identified the slain man as Ian Mastin, 27.
According to the Sheriff’s
Office, Mastin’s 27-year-old wife called 911 just before 9 p.m. and reported
she had shot her husband in their home in the 2900 block of Transcontinental
Drive.
Responding deputies found
Mastin had been shot multiple times. He died at the scene. Deputies took his
wife into custody and brought her to the agency’s detective bureau to be
interrogated.
The Sheriff’s Office said
the woman cooperated with investigators and “provided a detailed and
well-documented history of physical and psychological abuse” at the hands of
Mastin.
