Arizona woman accused of shooting her son dies in jail
Woman found unresponsive in jail
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Pima County authorities say a 71-year-old Avra Valley woman accused of shooting and wounding her son last week before barricading herself in a house has died.
County sheriff’s officials say Sandra Judson was found unresponsive in a medical housing unit at the county jail around 5 a.m. Saturday.
They say there were no signs of trauma or suspicious circumstances and Judson was pronounced dead at a Tucson hospital.
Sheriff’s officials say Judson was arrested last Tuesday night on suspicion of attempted second-degree murder after an hours-long standoff.
Judson’s son was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. His age wasn’t released by authorities and neither was a possible motive for the shooting.
