PINEY FLATS – Neighbors around Stage Coach Trailer Park were surprised and concerned when law enforcement descended on their community following a domestic shooting Tuesday afternoon. The incident at 405 Austin Springs Road, Lot 8, started around 3:15 p.m., when a man shot his girlfriend, then waved the gun around until deputies retreated.
It wasn’t over until just before 8 p.m. when Sullivan County S.W.A.T. members found 48-year-old Terry Stonecipher dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Sheriff Wayne Anderson.
The shooting happened when Stonecipher said he “accidentally” shot 58-year-old Kathy Barnett twice while cleaning his gun, Anderson said. Stonecipher apparently shot himself a short time after deputies backed away from his mobile home and after he stopped talking to them by cell phone.

(NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
