Manslaughter charges were filed on Wednesday against a man who says he accidentally shot his girlfriend while camping near Marblemount.
Thirty-one-year-old Clayton Riggles told police he was putting his .45-caliber revolver under his pillow before he went to sleep on Saturday when it went off and hit 28-year-old Brittany Zika in the head while the couple were in a tent.
Zika reportedly worked as a veterinary assistant at Skagit Animal Clinic in Burlington.
