jail  prisonPITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — A Pittsburg woman has been sentenced to nearly 14 years in prison for fatally shooting her husband in 2013.

Carla C. Moutz was sentenced Friday for second-degree murder and aggravated assault for the death of her husband, 49-year-old John Moutz, at her father’s home in Pittsburg.

She was charged with first-degree murder but accepted a plea deal in January.

The Joplin Globe reports prosecutors say Moutz shot her after an alcohol-fueled argument.
