ROGERSVILLE, Mo. (AP)   Authorities say a southwest Missouri shooting left a man dead and his girlfriend behind bars.

The Greene County Sheriff’s Office says on Facebook that deputies located 45-year-old Melanie Spencer, of Springfield, through the phone she used to call 911 and report that 41-year-old Samuel Biggs was shot. Before Biggs died at a hospital, Spencer was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. The sheriff’s office says additional charging information will be submitted to prosecutors.

Bond for Spencer is set at $500,000. It wasn’t immediately clear whether she has an attorney.
