A woman is accused of killing her boyfriend in Tell City. WNIN’s John Gibson has the story:

Authorities responded to a 9-1-1 call Saturday night, when a woman told Perry County dispatchers that her boyfriend had just been shot.

Indiana State Police say officers arrived on the scene and found Aaron Waninger unresponsive.

Officers attempted life-saving measures but were unsuccessful and Waninger was pronounced dead.
