Update, Saturday 10 p.m.
Tamborrino was Degenstein’s boyfriend, and a neighbor told police the two had been arguing earlier in the week after Degenstein found out Tamborrino was seeing other women.
Both had been drinking and playing with guns at his apartment when she shot him. When police arrived they found two handguns on a coffee table. Tamborrino was sitting on the couch, bleeding, but was breathing.
When police removed Degenstein from the apartment, she said something to the effect of: “I can’t believe I did this,” according to charging documents.
Officers noted that she smelled strongly of alcohol and had what appeared to be blood on her pants, sandals and foot, the charging documents said.
Tamborrino was rushed by medics to the hospital where he later died, according to police.
If convicted, Degenstein could face up to 99 years in prison.
