Couple Shoot Story

A wedding ended in disaster this weekend when pent-up aggression turned into gun violence. With more information on the story, here’s Emma Miller.

A man shot his wife shortly after they exchanged their wedding vows on Saturday.

Richard and Laurette Bronson were married on the front porch of their home at 617 Black St.

As Vicki Holmes, a neighbor of the Bronson’s, said, “It looked like everything was going really good… Everybody seemed to be having so much fun. They seemed like a happy couple.”

However, things soon took a turn for the worse during the wedding reception.

Police spokesman, Sergeant Mann, reported, “The shooting occurred at 5 p.m. It happened after she threw a plate of wedding reception macaroni salad at him.”

The shooting came as a shock to many. As one of the neighbors, Michael Martin, said, “I’ve never seen him violent, never heard them yelling, it blows me away.”

Richard Brunson had disappeared by the time the police arrived at the scene and is still at large. Laurette Brunson is *recovering from her shot to the abdomen* in St. Luke’s Hospital.
