An Anchorage man has been charged with criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter after his wife was shot at their trailer in Russian Jack early Sunday morning.

31-year-old Chue Yang told police that he accidentally shot his wife, Nancy Xiong, while showing her "how to protect herself from intruders using a handgun."

According to charging documents, Yang didn't call police after the accident and instead called Nancy Xiong's sister, who gathered other family members and drove to the couple's home. There they saw Yang "walking the street, covered in blood."

Xiong's sister and other family members went inside the apartment to find Nancy Xiong's body. Yang then returned to the apartment and locked himself inside another bedroom within the trailer.

He stayed there and refused to move even after the police arrived. Eventually, officers kicked down the door and arrested Yang.

Yang then explained to police that while trying to show Xiong how to protect herself against intruders, he showed her the handgun, "pointing it in her direction, shaking it, and the gun discharged."

Yang was arraigned on Sunday. His next hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
