Woman won't face charges in husband's death

GAFFNEY, S.C. - A Gaffney woman who shot and killed her husband will not face charges, prosecutors said.

The Cherokee County prosecutor determined Wednesday that Regina Rector acted in self defense when she killed Dennis Rector, 30, with a single gunshot wound to his stomach from a .50-caliber rifle.

Dennis Rector was found shot to death at his home Friday night.

Regina Rector told investigators her husband armed himself, gave her a rifle and backed her into a closet. Regina Rector said she fired when her husband pointed his gun at her and moved like he was going to shoot.
