A 36-year-old Bethlehem man was charged Sunday with the murder of his wife who died of a gunshot wound to the head, according to the Barrow County Sheriff's Office.

Kevin Richard Harrison is charged with killing his 29-year-old wife Heather Marrie Harrison, who is the mother of two children ages 9 and 2, sheriff's investigators said.

Harrison is the father of the youngest child, Capt. Matt Guthas said in a statement released Monday.

The shooting occurred shortly after midnight in the early morning hours of Sunday, according to Guthas.

Harrison called 911 and reported his wife was accidentally shot at their home at 763 Moss Side Drive, according to the report.

Deputies arrived within minutes and secured the home, where they found the wife with a gunshot wound to the head, Guthas said. The wife was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead hours later, he said.

Investigators interviewed the husband along with people who knew the victim.

"Based on the interviews, the evidence from the crime scene and the statements of the suspect, it was clear this was no accidental shooting," Guthas said.

Harrison is charged with aggravated assault, felony murder and possession of a firearm during a crime. He remains in the Barrow County Detention Center without bond.
