Woman says she killed husband over TV volume during Dallas Cowboys game 10:16 AM CT

By KIM HORNER / The Dallas Morning News

An Allen woman accused of killing her husband said she stabbed him in the heart after he turned up the volume of a Dallas Cowboys game, according to media reports.
Kimberly Shanks

A grand jury indicted Kimberly Shanks, 51, on May 7 for fatally stabbing Charles Shanks, 49, on Dec. 14. She will appear before a judge on May 27.

Shanks admitted to killing her husband at their home in the 1400 block of Lone Star Court on Dec. 14 after he turned up the volume of a Dallas Cowboys game “knowing it would keep her awake,” the Star Community Newspapers Web site reported, citing court documents.

The newspaper reported that Shanks told police she went into the kitchen for medication but grabbed a knife instead and “tried to stick the knife in his heart.”

She ran out of the house but returned with a landscaping rock from a neighbor's yard. She went inside to find her husband on the kitchen floor and she hit him on the back of the head with the rock to make sure he was knocked out. She also stabbed him in the back to make sure he was dead, the newspaper reported. She said she was afraid he would kill her.

Shanks told police the couple started arguing after her husband started drinking and threatened to leave the country and never return. Shanks told police her husband had mentally abused her and that he refused her request for a divorce, the newspaper reported.

Shanks is being held at the Collin County Detention Center in lieu of $100,000 bail.
