Well was it a neighbor that called the police or what? Hope more details come out about this whether it was self inflicted or if someone indeed fled the scene as a homicide.

You need to be sensitive to her family and friends. You don’t need to know all the sad details. She was a wonderful person and mother!! May she rest in peace!!
HellBent says
If you took a moment to read the headline before commenting you would read it was Suicide. That means she killed herself. Get it? Got it . Good.!!??
T says
They just changed the headline, it did not read that way earlier.
Dan says
Thanks T….. HellBent is quick to judge but little on knowing his information. Smart assess wind up always looking like dumbasses!
Melinda Meginnis says
Dan-its still leaves the question of who called 911? Maybe neighbors heard the shot…? Very sad.
TD says
So sad when someone gets to a point of despair that they take their own life.
Mary Jones says
People were very rude on these sites when my brother got killed. I pray the family finds peace.
