BOONE, Iowa — A central Iowa woman will avoid prison after admitting to shooting her husband in Madrid last year. Court records show Miranda Schaumburg shot her husband in the back in September of 2023. Schaumburg claimed self-defense at the time, but investigators rejected that claim. Schaumburg was also accused of deleting security camera video that would have shown the shooting.

She faced several charges, including attempted murder. KCCI reports last month, Schaumburg took an Alford Plea to domestic abuse with a firearm. The plea means she maintains her innocence, but agreed there would be enough evidence for a conviction.

She also pleaded guilty to being a convicted domestic abuser in possession of a firearm.

Schaumburg received a suspended sentence and credit for time served. She will spend two days in jail and two years on probation.
