Police: Fairport Native Killed by Husband in Arizona

An Arizona man is facing a murder charge for the shooting death of his wife, a ballerina who grew up in Fairport.

Christopher Hoopes reportedly told a 9-1-1 operator in Tempe that he shot his wife, Colleen, when she startled him in the middle of the night.

She died soon after she was taken to a hospital.

Her parents, Deb and Ed Buckley, told a TV station that it was their daughter's lifelong dream to be a professional ballerina. They hope to create a ballet scholarship in her name.

Hoopes posted $750,000 bond.
