Wanda Hannon Jenkins has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter in the shooting death of another woman in October 2005.

Jenkins, 37, of Roxie, entered the plea Monday in Adams County Circuit Court. She had been scheduled for trial Monday on a murder charge in the shooting death of 29-year-old Kim Donald.

Circuit Judge Lillie Blackmon Sanders did not set a sentencing date.

Sheriff’s department Maj. Jody Waldrop said the shooting happened at a birthday party after an argument started over Jenkins’ husband.

Jenkins claimed someone was trying to attack her with a bottle so she pulled out a pistol and started shooting, Waldrop said.

Donald was shot in the chest and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Sheriff Ronny Brown said Donald was an innocent bystander.
