A 71-year-old Dingman Township woman has been charged with shooting her husband and then threatening to shoot her daughter following a domestic dispute late on Saturday night.

Jacqueline Grogan of 223 Wild Meadow Drive in Sunrise Lakes retrieved a .25 caliber pistol from her bedroom and fired two shots at two separate television sets in the living room before shooting her 57-year-old husband once in the arm at about 11:30 p.m., according to state police at Blooming Grove. She then threatened to shoot her 45-year-old daughter, police said.
