Man Shoots Wife after Heated Argument
October 25, 2023 | | Leave a Comment
Richard Brunson, 50, shot his wife, Laurette Kenny Brunson, 38, around 5 p.m. Saturday Night. Brunson used a .22-calibre handgun on his wife after a heated argument. Witnesses claim that the shooting occurred right after Laurette threw a plate of macaroni salad at him.
The shooting comes to a surprise to many, as the couple had just gotten married and never had previous issues. They had been living together in the house for about 5 months before they were officially married. “I’ve never seen him violent, never heard him yelling. It blows me away,” said Michael Martin, a neighbor.
By the time the police showed up to the crime scene, Richard had already fled. His whereabouts are still unknown, and Laurette Brunson is still at St. Luke’s Hospital.
When asked about the situation Laurette had this to say, “No comment, leave us alone, leave all of us alone.”
Hospital officials say that Mrs. Brunson is in good condition, and that she was only shot in the abdomen.
