LADYSMITH, Wis. (AP) -- A man accused of fatally shooting his wife has pleaded not guilty in Rusk County Circuit Court.
Sixty-six-year-old Donald Lazar is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the Dec. 30 death of his wife, Darlene. Lazar told police he fired a gun, thinking it wasn't loaded, and shot his wife while she was on the phone with police. Prosecutors say he reloaded the rifle and shot her in the head.
