Police: Pennsylvania Man Called 911 After Killing Wife With Rifle

OIL CITY, Pa. (AP) -- Police say a Pennsylvania man called 911 to report fatally shooting his wife, and cooperated as officers arrived moments later.

Police say 49-year-old Jeffrey Goodman Sr. called Oil City police about 11:15 p.m. Saturday to report the shooting.

Police Chief Robert Wenner says Goodman cooperated with officers and "discussed a three-year, up-and-down domestic situation" that allegedly fueled the incident.

Police say 49-year-old Cathy Goodman was shot once in the head with a high-powered hunting rifle.

Goodman remained in the Venango County Jail unable to post bond Monday on a charge of criminal homicide.

Online court records do not list an attorney for him.
