A Washington man has been arrested and charged with murder after his ex-wife was shot in the eye while trying to pick up their children at his home. Schaffer's brother told police that Beale "has not concealed his hatred of Mary,” the documents said. He also said that Beale had claimed he was going to save up $3,000 to hire someone to kill Schaffer. Police questioned Schaffer's boyfriend, who said she flew to Spokane to pick up her children but was afraid of what Beale might do to her. Witnesses described hearing a gunshot about 12:30 p.m. and saw a man matching Beale's description fleeing the scene.
