The College Perspective by Lindsey

A shooting occurred yesterday that resulted in one injured woman. According to Sgt. Mann (audio).

Richard and Laurette Brunson were married on their front porch of their home at 317 Black Street early in the afternoon. The ceremony was attended by 30 close friends and relatives, including Laurette’s three children, but at around 5 p.m., things went south.

Neighbors are very shocked by the situation, as Marilyn Corse describes: (audio)

The couple had been living together for four or five months before their wedding, while Richard worked in construction and Laurette worked for a government housing program before she quit to hopefully start a daycare center. According to neighbors’ reports, the couple seemed to be having a normal, happy wedding day until the shooting.

Since the incident, there has been no sign of the groom, while Mrs. Brunson is in satisfactory condition from a gunshot wound to the abdomen at St. Luke’s Hospital.
