A Pennsylvania woman will soon arrive in Canada to face charges in the shooting death of her husband.
After surrendering to U.S. Marshals in Pennsylvania last week, Mary Beth Harshbarger will be flown into Gander, N.L., in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the RCMP said.
The 44-year-old Harshbarger had been fighting her extradition to Canada, but was unable to win an appeal in her case.
Harshbarger was charged with criminal negligence causing death and careless use of a firearm, after her husband was shot dead on a hunting trip in September 2006.
She has claimed she mistook her husband for a bear when he was shot in an area near Buchans Junction, west of Grand Falls-Windsor.
The Telegram newspaper in St. John's has previously reported that the couple used to take annual hunting trips to Newfoundland.
The paper has also said the couple's children were with them in Newfoundland when Mark Harshbarger was shot.
Harshbarger faces charges because Canadian officials claim she fired a gun when it was too dark to do so safely.
In a brief telephone interview on Monday, RCMP Sgt. Russ Thibault told CTV.ca that Harshbarger was originally charged by police more than two years ago.
