A Minnesota court charged a 56-year-old man with second-degree murder and second-degree assault Friday for shooting and killing a woman who honked her car horn in a bid for him to hurry up.

Prosecutors accused Angelo Borreson with the said charges following the death of 51-year-old Angela Wynne, said ABC News.

The suspect told officials that Wynne went to his house early Wednesday to help him get gas for his car, pointed the New York Daily News, citing a report from the Minnesota Star Tribune.

It added that Wynne arrived before Borreson was ready to leave. She started to yell at Borreson to hurry up, while at the same time, honking her horn.

As a result, Borreson went out and shot Wynne multiple times with a shotgun. He said that the shooting was an accident, and he didn't mean for the gun to fire.

Borreson then called 911, added NBC News.

He was arrested at the scene and jailed in the process. His bail is set at $750,000 and is expected to appear in court on March 16.
