Colorado Springs woman arrested on suspicion of attempted murder
Abstracted from story by Zachary Dupont, The Tribune
March 26, 2023 According to an arrest affidavit, Steven Louden, 63, moved back in with his ex-wife, Kerri Marie Louden, 60, to “give their marriage another chance.”
Ten days after the reconciliation, the couple got into an argument when Mr. Louden reportedly told another woman he loved her in a text message. But Louden told detectives that the text his wife read was from 2012.
When Steven Louden told Mrs. Louden that “they can't be together” and began to pack his belongings, Mrs. Louden pointed a gun at her husband and shot him twice, once in the chest and again in his armpit.
After being shot twice, somehow Steven Louden called police. During the phone call, Mrs. Louden could apparently be “heard in the background saying it was accidental.” She told detectives she accidentally shot and wounded Steven Louden during a “tussle.”
Detectives noticed that Kerri Louden had cuts on her upper arm and stab wounds to her abdominal area. Steven Louden claimed his wife inflicted the injuries on herself, which in common in such cases.
The shooting occurred on Thumbprint Drive in the Flying Horse neighborhood on the city's north side.
Prosecutors filed preliminary charges of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault causing serious bodily injury with a deadly weapon against Kerri Marie Louden.
Kerri Louden bonded out of jail on March 28, and her initial court appearance was scheduled for April 6.
