Missouri woman arrested in shooting that killed boyfriend

ROGERSVILLE, Mo. (AP) - Authorities have arrested a woman suspected of fatally shooting her boyfriend in southwest Missouri.

The Greene County Sheriff's Office says on Facebook that deputies located 45-year-old Melanie Spencer, of Springfield, through the phone she used to call 911 and report that 41-year-old Samuel Biggs was shot.

Before Biggs died at a hospital, Spencer was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. The sheriff's office says additional charging information will be submitted to prosecutors.

Bond for Spencer is set at $500,000. It wasn't immediately clear whether she has an attorney.
