(Indianapolis, IN) - A Long Beach man has had his conviction overturned.  John Larkin was accused in the fatal shooting of his wife in 2012.

He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.  Larkin argued he pushed his wife but did so only to take the gun away from her.  Evidence indicates the gun went off during the struggle.

Larkin claimed self-defense.  The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled there was not sufficient evidence to refute his self defense claims.
