Texas woman charged with murder

PASADENA — A 40-year-old Pasadena woman police say shot her husband and the couple next door has been charged with murder after the female neighbor died.

Tanya Lin Schmidt was in the Harris County jail on Sunday on $80,000 bond. A jail official did not know whether she had an attorney.

Officials say that the female neighbor died after being taken to the hospital following the Saturday night shootings.

Police say that the woman's husband and the male neighbor are in stable condition.

Pasadena police spokesman Vance Mitchell tells the Houston Chronicle detectives are investigating a yearlong dispute between the two couples.

Mitchell tells the newspaper, ``The only one we can talk to is the accused shooter because two of the victims have been in surgery and the other one is dead.''
