Authorities report that at around 10:36 a.m., deputies responded to a 911 call at a residence in the 100 block of East Lakeview Drive in LaPlace.

The couple was apparently on a strict budget. Hubbard reportedly shot Jones with one of his own guns. Tregre said Hubbard informed deputies the gunshot was an accident.
The sheriff, however, said, “We have physical evidence that tells us differently.”
Hubbard has been charged with second-degree murder.
She was arrested without incident and placed into the local parish jail on a $1 million bond.
