[September 12, 2007]  VANCOUVER, Wash.  (AP) -- A woman is accused of shooting her husband four times with a 16-gauge double-barreled shotgun after learning of an affair.

Eddie Martin, 51, survived the attack, but may have to have a limb amputated. Sheryl Martin, also 51, had to reload after the first two shots.

Martin made her first appearance on Monday in Clark County Superior Court. Martin was released on bail and will live with her parents. She will be formally charged Sept. 21.

Eddie Martin told his wife he was having an affair and wanted a divorce.

They argued and Eddie went to sleep in a camper. Sheryl found a shotgun, loaded it and allegedly shot him while he was in bed.

Sheryl Martin called 911 and told a dispatcher what she had done and was arrested on Saturday.

The pair were married for 30 years.
