A Louisiana man is facing a second-degree murder charge after shooting his wife multiple times after apparently mistaking her for an intruder early Saturday morning.
Emergency operators told responding officers that the man, identified as 26-year-old Daniel Johnson, called saying that he had shot an intruder, but the intruder turned out to be his wife.
When officers arrived on the scene after the shooting occurred around 1 a.m., they found 24-year-old Lashanna Ward dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
