Prosecutor: No charges in fatal shooting of Sierra Vista man

Reported by: Associated Press
Last Update: 5/01 10:03 am
The Arizona Attorney General's office says it won't file charges against a Sierra Vista woman who fatally shot her physician husband.
 
Dr. Gary Forsberg was shot on Aug. 15 when he and his wife, Beverly Forsberg, were handling a gun in their house. She told police he was showing her how to use the weapon.
 
Assistant Attorney General Mike Jette says the decision not to prosecute was made on the available evidence and doesn't mean that charges could not be filed in the future.
 
The review was done by the state because the 61-year-old radiologist and his 67-year-old wife were friends with Cochise County Attorney Ed Rheinheimer.
 
Tucson attorney Michael Piccarreta said Thursday he hopes the decision quells rumors about Beverly Forsberg. He says he client is devastated by her husband's death.
