A 70-year-old woman has been arrested for shooting dead her husband - the second time in nearly 30 years she's been accused of killing a spouse.
El Dorado County officials say Colleen Ann Harris was arrested last Sunday after deputies were called to her home in rural Placerville and found 72-year-old Robert Harris dead of a gunshot wound.
Sheriff's officials say Robert Harris was Colleen Harris' third husband. They are believed to have divorced in 2004 but later reconciled.

El Dorado County officials say Colleen Ann Harris was arrested last Sunday after deputies were called to her home in rural Placerville and found 72-year-old Robert Harris dead of a gunshot wound.
Sheriff's officials say Robert Harris was Colleen Harris' third husband. They are believed to have divorced in 2004 but later reconciled.
According to a Mountain Democrat article, she couldn’t remember killing Batten and a psychiatrist testified at her trial that she suffered from limited amnesia.
Neighbor and friend Dan McKalvie told CBS13 he was amazed that his neighbor would be accused of such a thing.
'Very friendly. She’s a small woman, soft-spoken. If you met and her and talked to her, you’d be amazed.'
He said he thought she was innocent of the first murder because she was acquitted but now he is suspicious due to the similar circumstances.
'It’s a small town. The news is out there and people talk. I don't want to rush to judgment. I know that’s what everybody’s going to start doing until the facts come out.'
McKalvie also said he didn’t notice any recent problems with Colleen and didn’t know of any marital problems.
It is not known how the marriage to her first husband ended.
