HARTFORD, Conn. ? A Connecticut woman says she was terrified when her ex-husband fired a gun a few inches from her head after kidnapping her and holding her hostage for several hours in 2009.
Nancy Tyler testified Wednesday at Richard Shenkman's trial on kidnapping, assault, arson and other charges. His lawyer is planning an insanity defense.
Tyler said Shenkman fired the gun into a wall as she was on the phone with police. He had brought her from a Hartford parking garage to a South Windsor home they once shared.
Tyler said he handcuffed her to an eyebolt in the basement, and she managed to loosen it and escape. About an hour later Shenkman surrendered to police as flames engulfed the house.
The couple had been going through bitter post-divorce court proceedings.
