A 56-year-old man in Minnesota has been charged with second-degree murder after he shot and killed a woman who honked her horn outside his house to hurry up.

Angelo Borreson shot 51-year-old Angela Wynne outside his house near the tiny city of Badger last Wednesday morning, the Minnesota Star Tribune and Associated Press reported.

Wynne had driven to his house that morning, and the two had planned to set off together to buy gas for his car, the Star Tribune reported, citing the criminal complaint.

But Wynne arrived before Borreson was ready to leave, and honked her horn and yelled at him to hurry up, the Star Tribune reported.

Borreson then left his house with a shotgun and fatally shot her, before calling 911, the two outlets reported. He was then arrested at the scene, the Star Tribune reported.

Borreson later told law-enforcement authorities he accidentally shot Wynne multiple times, and that he didn't mean for the gun to fire, the Star Tribune reported, citing the charge against him.

He was charged on Friday with second-degree murder and second-degree assault against Wynne. His bail has been set at $750,000 and is expected to appear in court on March 16, the Star Tribune said.
