SA: Identity revealed of woman killed in home invasion

ADELAIDE, April 21 AAP - An Adelaide woman shot dead in her home in front of her two
children this week has been identified as 46-year-old Karen Hodgson.

Police said on Wednesday Ms Hodgson had been targeted by intruders in a period leading
up to the killing.

They are still searching for three masked men - one armed with a gun - who forced their
way into her suburban Sturt unit early on Monday.

She was shot in the back and died at the scene.

Police have also reaffirmed they don't believe it was a random attack.

They said a search of the property revealed four cannabis plants growing hydroponically
in a locked garage.
