Harry Leibel, 64, died of a single gunshot wound.

Douglas County sheriff’s deputies said at first Tatiana Leibel, 50, told them her husband shot himself.

“During the subsequent investigation, information was developed to implicate Tatiana as a suspect,” deputies said in a press release.

The incident occurred at their Kent Way home. No one else was home at the time of the Feb. 23 shooting.

Leibel is being held without bail.

    Just another gun homicide. Hot dogs, apple pie, baseball and guns. 1 in 25000 chance of getting killed with a gun in America. 1 in 100,000 in England. 1 in a Million in Japan.

    If she wanted him dead she was going to find a way, with or without a gun. I am sure they had kitchen knives in the house or poison.

    Just another murdering murderer who thought they could blame someone else like the husband she killed and next she will claim abuse or insanity. Nevada at least has a better chance of a life sentence or an execution. Moonbeam has already released 1400 people who were sentenced for life without parole onto the streets to join the other thirty thousand early release felons he released because he has refused to build new prisons or contract with other states so a prison sentence doesn’t mean what was ordered and these people are out very soon. Why people aren’t aware or concerned about the statewide crime sprees everywhere or taking recall action is the question.

    Um Rhino, Kitchen knives are not as efficient as guns for killing else, Armies would still be using swords and bayonets.
