COLORADO SPRINGS - Investigators say no charges will be filed in a case where a man shot and killed his ex-wife because it falls under the Make My Day Law.
The Fourth Judicial District Attorney's office says 46-year-old Cristen Ann Cox went over to her husband's house at just after 1 a.m. on Oct. 9. She had a handgun and investigators say she fired four shots into the front door of the apartment and broke in. She then fired another shot in the living room.
The gunfire woke up Richard Cox and his girlfriend, according to investigators. Richard Cox did not know who was in his home so he got his 12-gauge shotgun and fired a shot at a silhouette that entered the bedroom.
Investigators say the shot struck Cristen Cox, killing her instantly.
Richard Cox then turned on the lights and discovered his ex-wife and called 911.
He had divorced her in June after they separated in October 2009. He had gotten a restraining order against her in January.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
