One woman is in the hospital only hours after her own wedding.
Laurette Kenny Brunson was shot by her was husband, Richard Brunson, yesterday. The couple was married only 3 hours before the shooting occurred.
According to police spokesperson Sergeant Mann: “The shooting occurred at 5 p.m. It happened because she threw a plate of wedding reception macaroni salad at him.”
Richard and Laurette Brunson had lived together for four to five months. The bride had three children in the house at the time of the incident.
Walter Corse, a neighbor, said “I heard the sound of the shot. And then the son came out yelling ‘she’s been shot and can’t breathe.’”
Laurette Brunson is now recovering at St. Luke’s Hospital. Richard Brunson’s whereabouts are still unknown. If you or anyone you know has any information, contact the Sioux City Police department.
“A woman…” Writing “one” makes me think there are other women you have yet to tell me about.
You have the attribution before the quotes. Good. I’ve always been partial to “colon” introductions, rather than leaving the sentence hanging for a second:
Officer Mann described the scene:
Neighbor Walter Corse had this to say:
I would probably note earlier that Laurette is alive and recovering. There is something to be said for keeping the listener hanging, but in this case maybe let them know she’s alive at the top.
Your voice sounds like it was made for radio.
