A woman from the Baltimore area was arrested in D.C. on charges of shooting her husband because, she believed, that he molested children at the day-care center that she runs.
The Baltimore Sun, citing charging documents, reported that Shanteari Weems of Randallstown shot her husband, who was not named, while the two were at the swanky Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Southwest Washington.
The shooting led to a brief barricade situation at the hotel.
Ms. Weems wouldn’t open the door when police arrived and also threatened to shoot herself, according to the paper.
Her unnamed husband told police through the door that he was shot in the head and the leg.
