FBI agent arrested, charged in wife's shooting death in Va.; claims she attacked him

Published January 13, 2015

An FBI agent who told police in Virginia that he fatally shot his estranged wife last month has been charged in her death.

Media outlets say 43-year-old Arthur Gonzales was charged Friday with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in the April 19 shooting death of Julie Serna Gonzales.

Stafford sheriff's office spokesman Bill Kennedy says Gonzales turned himself in shortly after 6 p.m. He is being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.

During a recorded 911 call, Gonzales told the dispatcher his wife attacked him with a knife and that he had to shoot her.

He works as a supervisory special agent and instructor at the bureau's National Academy at Quantico.

It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney.
