SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A 23-year-old Sioux City man has been charged in the death of a woman who was shot while she was calling an emergency dispatcher.
A criminal complaint says Sarah Zoelle called 911 Saturday night and was pleading for help, saying her boyfriend, Austyn Self, was pointing a gun at her.
The complaint says the 911 dispatcher then heard what sounded like a gunshot.
Officers say Zoelle was holding a 6-month-old child in her arms when they found her suffering from a gunshot wound.
She died later at a hospital. Two other young children were in the house.
Self was also charged with three counts of child endangerment.
