Yavapai County sheriff's officials say Kenneth Blair was booked Saturday into Camp Verde Detention Center on two charges of second-degree murder in the deaths of Delissa Blair and their unborn child.
Deputies say Kenneth Blair reported around 5 a.m. that he had accidentally shot his wife after they fought over a handgun.
Responding deputies found Delissa Blair with a gunshot wound to the head.
She was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The couple's two children, ages 5 and 11, were home at the time but unharmed.
They are being assisted by state child welfare representatives.
