Shooting

Happily ever after is not in store for a recently married couple. Richard Brunson, 50, and Laurette Kenny Brunson, 38, were married Saturday on the front porch of their home, 617 Jackson Street.

The wedding was held at 2 p.m. and 30 relatives and friends attended. Everything seemed to be going so well. Vicki Holmes, who lives across the street, explains the couple’s wedding. (Vicki)

It did not take long for the marriage to turn sour. Police spokesman Sgt. Mann (SgtMann) reported, an unlikely event occurred at 5 p.m. that same night after the bride through a plate of wedding reception macaroni salad at the groom. Richard Brunson then proceeded to shot his new wife with a .22-calibre handgun.

Unfortunately the brides three children where there during the event though none of them were harmed. A neighbor called the police after hearing cries from the children for help. When the police arrived they found no groom. His whereabouts are still unknown

Laurette Brunson is recovering at St. Lukes hospital. She is in satisfactory condition after being shot in the abdomen.
