JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) — A 66-year-old Jackson woman has been fatally shot at a rest stop along Interstate 40 in Benton County and police have arrested the victim's estranged husband.
John Mehr, special agent in charge with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, said 66-year-old Billy Bridges, of Franklin, shot and then stabbed his estranged wife, Eva Bridges, around 11:30 a.m. on Monday.
