Memphis police have arrested a man for shooting his girlfriend after he originally reported that she'd tried to commit suicide.

Donald Dodd, 35, has been charged with reckless homicide. He is being held on $200,000 bond.

According to police, the incident began on Jan. 21, when Dodd called police to report that Rachel Pool had shot herself in their apartment in the 4400 block of Powell in the Berclair area. Pool was still alive and taken to the Regional Medical Center, but she died the next day.

The medical examiner subsequently ruled the death a homicide, according to the affidavit. Dodd also gave police different stories, the affidavit said, before finally saying that the gun went off as he was trying to take it from her.
