He was "startled".

Arizona Husband Claims He Was ‘Startled’ Into Shooting Beloved Ballet Dancer

Arizona ballerina Colleen Hoopes was fatally shot by her husband, who claims he was too startled to realize it was his own wife he shot. He now faces two felony charges.

An Arizona man has been charged with second-degree murder after prosecutors say he shot dead his ballet dancer wife in the middle of the night, claiming he had been “startled” awake.

Christopher Hoopes is accused of firing two shots at his wife, Colleen Hoopes, in the couple’s bedroom. Hoopes was a well-known dancer for Ballet Arizona in Phoenix.

The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office on Friday announced the charges against Hoopes for the May 24 killing, with interim County Attorney Rachel Mitchell noting that “the victim in this case was an extremely talented dancer, beloved by her community.”

If it isn't murder it's ... Naw. No one could be that stupid/"startled". Guy's a fucking murderer.
