Can't say as I'm shocked by the news, sadly.

From CNN:

LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Music industry mogul Phil Spector was detained Monday following an early morning homicide in the town of Alhambra outside Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said Alhambra, California, police received a 911 call at 5 a.m. (8 a.m. ET). Officers responded to the house near the intersection of Grandview and Valley. At the scene police found one woman dead and took Spector into custody.

The sheriff's department said it considers Spector a suspect in the case.

Spector worked with such artists as the Beatles, The Righteous Brothers and Ike and Tina Turner. Spector's Wall of Sound stands as a landmark in recording history. His work produced some of rock's best loved music.
