PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A 68-year-old Camas man is dead in Clark County after a shooting Thursday morning and his wife is facing a murder charge, officials said.
Sixty-seven-year-old Beverly A. Tafolla was arrested and booked into the Clark County Jail on charges of murder in the second degree in connection with Robert A. Tafolla’s death, authorities said later on Thursday.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to a residence at around 6:41 a.m. after they received a call that the caller’s stepfather had been shot and that his mother might be to blame.
The caller remained on the phone talking to both the dispatch and his mother, officials said, until deputies arrived and detained the mother.
Deputies and medical personnel said they found Robert Tafolla dead inside the residence after suffering from “multiple gunshot wounds” along with a .38 special revolver inside the residence.
