Oswego woman charged with killing ex-cop husband

OSWEGO (AP) - A 69-year-old Oswego woman has been charged with shooting to death her husband, a former police officer.

Oswego County Undersheriff Robert Lighthall says Joyce Malone is being held without bail after being charged with second-degree murder in the slaying of 74-year-old Ralph Malone.

Sheriff's deputies say Malone's body was found in the couple's town of Oswego home Friday evening. Authorities aren't releasing a motive.

Ralph Malone worked as a city of Oswego police officer from 1965-73. He and his wife ran a gun shop that closed in 1995. Police say several guns were found inside their home.
