PSO deputies went inside the home and discovered Joshua Southwell dead in the shower inside the master bathroom, according to the arrest affidavit.
During an interview with Dusty, she stated her husband of 10 years was in the shower, and she grabbed his handgun and began singing 'Click, click, boom,' which is a song she sings with her husband.
Dusty told deputies her husband turned the shower off and was in the process of drying himself with a towel when she pointed the weapon, which she thought was unloaded, at her husband and pulled the trigger once, hitting him.
The affidavit said Dusty checked on her husband before calling her daughter and then 911.
'Based on the known facts and circumstances, Dusty Southwell intentionally fired the handgun in the direction of her husband, without a premeditated design, which was an act imminently dangerous and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life which resulted in the death of her husband,' the arrest affidavit said.
Dusty was unable to tell deputies why she took possession of the firearm, according to PSO.
Speaking with deputies, Dusty repeatedly denied being involved in an argument or physical altercation with her husband prior to the shooting.
Dusty was arrested on Thursday and charged with murder/homicide-not premeditated.
