Bricker gets probation for shooting husband

CANFIELD

A North Lima woman who accidentally shot her husband said she will never touch another gun again.

Donna Bricker pleaded no contest Tuesday to one count of domestic violence in Mahoning County Area Court here after reports said she shot her husband in the leg during an argument.

“It’s something I close my eyes about and think about every night,” Donna Bricker, 76, of Lynn Road, said at her court hearing.

Judge Scott D. Hunter found her guilty, suspended a 180-day jail sentence, fined her $250, placed her on two years’ probation, and ordered her to continue counseling at Turning Point Counseling. She also is no longer allowed to own or possess a firearm.
