Today there was a Shooting at 617 Black Street

Local Man, Richard Brunson, 50 shot his wife Laurette Kenny Brunson, 38 only hours after their wedding. 

It happened after Laurette had thrown a plate of macaroni salad at Richard. The couple had been living together for 4-5 months at the house. A neighbor called the police after hearing the gunshot and the groom was nowhere to be found. 

Here is what Walter Course, the neighbor had to say:

“I heard the sound of the shot. or, I think I did. It was like a “pop pop pop.” Then I heard the son come out and yell ‘She’s been shot and can’t breathe”

Mrs. Brunson is in good condition, is not dead.


And a quote from Sgt Mann

“Happened at 5pm, after she threw a plate of macaroni salad at him. His whereabouts are still unknown”
