Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter

A woman charged with a fatal shooting on Ohio Street two months ago appeared in court Tuesday.

As we previously reported, Angela Mason, 47, was charged May 10 in Buchanan County with a class-C felony of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of her husband, 50-year-old Jeffery Mason March 3. According to court documents, the couple had a fight, and “…the suspect said the weapon discharged and struck the victim.”

When police arrived, they found the victim and the defendant in the couple’s bedroom and a handgun on the dresser, according to a court affidavit. The victim suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the chest.

She appeared in court Tuesday before Associate Circuit Judge Keith Marquart. Mason waived formal reading of the complaint. Mason is free after posting $25,000 surety bond and is due back in court June 1.
