After deputies found a man with “multiple gunshot wounds” inside a Texas home, his wife admitted she had shot him, according to authorities.

And she said she did so because he confessed “he was in love with another woman,” according to a news release from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Her husband was taken to a hospital on Saturday, May 7, where authorities say he was pronounced dead. The sheriff’s office has not said who called them to the home in Spring.
