84-year-old woman shoots son-in-law


An 84-year-old woman shot her son-in-law dead from an eighth-of-a-mile away during a family feud over a patch of rural Arkansas land that she insisted was hers, prosecutors say.

Police say Gertrude Raines shot Charles Davis, 62, with a .22-caliber rifle from 220 yards away. Authorities say the rifle did not have a scope.
