South Carolina Man ‘Accidentally’ Shoots Wife Dead While Cleaning His Shotgun

A South Carolina man says he was cleaning his 12-gauge shotgun when it discharged and accidentally killed his wife. According to Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler, 59-year-old Rita Pennington died at the scene of the shooting around 8:00 a.m. on Saturday.
