Authorities say Frank McDonald used the pellet gun to shoot squirrels in his yard. He called police around 10 a.m. Saturday after his 44-year-old wife, Cheryl, was hit by a pellet.
She later died from the wound.
Frank McDonald is being held on bail of $150,000. If he's convicted, he could face five to 10 years in prison.
The couple's 12-year-old son was taken from the crime scene by relatives.
