CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) - A St. Louis County woman is accused of fatally shooting her father.

Charges of first-degree murder and armed criminal action were filed Thursday against 28-year-old Christine Taylor, in the death of 55-year-old Lieutenant Carter.

Taylor is jailed on $100,000 cash-only bond and it wasn’t immediately clear if she had an attorney.

The shooting happened Wednesday at a home in an unincorporated area of the county. Arriving officers found Carter, who was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he died.

Police say Carter and Taylor argued before the shooting.
