A 35-year-old woman has been charged with reckless homicide in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in a wooded area in southern Indiana.

Walker and two other men were looking for ginseng on property behind a home. The men also had two dogs with them.

Police said at least one shot was fired in the direction of Walker and the dogs.
