Knox couple who died Friday identifiedFORT KNOX, Ky. (WHAS11) – The Fort Knox couple who died Friday in a
double shooting have been identified as Spc. Christopher and Krista
Meeks.<br />
<br />
Police responded to their residence in the Oak Park neighborhood shortly
before 4 A.M. after receiving a 911 call from their residence. <br />
<br />
Responding officers heard gunfire and entered the home where they found the pair with gunshot wounds. <br />
<br />
The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command said the incident may be a result of an apparent domestic dispute. <br />
<br />
According to police reports, Spc. Meeks was a human resources specialist
with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division. He’s been at
Fort Knox since March 2011.<br />
The last murder at Fort Knox was in 1993.<br />
<br />
The names of the victims will not be released by authorities until
24-hours after the families are notified. Two children at the home at
the time of the shootings are now in the custody of the
Kentucky Department for Community Based Services.CMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13658819844910020130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529727954564016725.post-79836632575365761212013-02-24T17:51:00.000-05:002013-02-24T17:51:11.323-05:00Raymore, MO: Raymore Police arrest husband in wife’s murderRAYMORE, Mo. — For just the second time since the turn of the century, Raymore Police are investigating a homicide.<br />
<br />
It happened early Saturday morning and a suspect has already been arrested and is behind bars.<br />
Danielle Beckett,30, died at the hospital Saturday, less than an hour after police say her husband Erick Beckett shot her.<br />
<br />
Despite this being their first holicide case in six years, detectives quickly made an arrest.<br />
<br />
“We got a 911 call here today that a woman had been shot,” Raymore Police Captain Jim Wilson told FOX 4 News.<br />
<br />
The woman was later identified as Beckett, who lived on South Sunrise.<br />
<br />
“Once the victim was taken to the hospital, two other individuals
were taken to Raymore Police Department for interviews,” Wilson said.<br />
<br />
One of the people investigators interviewed was Beckett’s husband
Erick. While he was at police headquaarters, detectives waited on a
search warrant. Once it was in hand, they got to work.<br />
<br />
“They were just investigating the scene and gathering a little bit of evidence,” Wilson told FOX 4 News.<br />
<br />
Whatever evidence detectives found — combined with Beckett’s interview led to a first degree murder charge against Beckett.<br />
<br />
Wilson says cases like this one just don’t happen very often in Raymore.<br />
<br />
“It’s been several years, several years,” he said.<br />
<br />
More than six years to be exact. In late January 2007, 31-year-old
Sheldon Haynes had just returned home from a night of bowling, when he
was shot and killed in his driveway.<br />
<br />
Before Haynes was killed, it had been almost seven years since a murder had been committed in Raymore.<br />
<br />
“It’s a pretty quiet neighborhood and we take pride in neighborhood and the patrolling the officers do too,” Wilson said.<br />
<br />
Beckett is being held in the Cass County Jail. He will be formally
charged on Monday and is also expected to make his first court
appearance.CMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13658819844910020130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529727954564016725.post-11054030465103933252013-02-24T17:48:00.003-05:002013-02-24T17:48:57.735-05:00Fargo, ND: Fargo man charged with felony murder in wife's death<div class="entry-content">
FARGO, N.D. — A Fargo man is accused of killing his wife in a case that was originally reported to police as a suicide.<br />
<br />
Ronald
Rogers Jr. is charged with two counts, including a felony murder charge
that carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. Bail was set at $1
million cash.<br />
<br />
Authorities say that 46-year-old Rogers killed Elizabeth Rogers. The 40-year-old woman died of a gunshot wound to the head.<br />
<br />
Police
say the preliminary investigation indicated the pair were arguing
Tuesday night when Elizabeth Rogers fired the gun at her husband and
then shot herself when he tried to take the weapon away.<br />
<br />
But investigators say the crime scene and autopsy revealed inconsistencies with the original report.<br />
<br />
Ronald Rogers is scheduled to make his first court appearance at 8:30 a.m. Monday.<br />

Postal Service remained jailed without bond after a brief court hearing
Wednesday on charging papers alleging he went into his estranged wife’s
home, dragged her out a window and beat her to death.<br />
<br />
James
Mitchell Carter, 46, was “holding onto the hope” of reconciling with
Kimberly Dawn Carter, witnesses told police, but court papers also state
that she recently told him that she was going to soon serve him with
divorce papers.<br />
<br />
Kimberly Carter also planned to change the locks
on Tuesday to her Great Mills area home because she feared her husband
had made a copy of her daughter’s key, according to charging papers
alleging he appeared in her bedroom at about 3 a.m. that day.<br />
<br />
“Mitchell,
No!” Kimberly Carter yelled as she and a boyfriend awoke, court papers
state, and the suspect initially got into a scuffle with Thomas Norris,
who struck the suspect before running outside.<br />
<br />
The attack on
Kimberly Carter commenced, initially inside the home located in the
Greenview West housing area off Chancellor’s Run Road, according to a
statement of probable cause filed by detective Cpl. William Raddatz of
the St. Mary’s Bureau of Criminal Investigations.<br />
<br />
“Then, it
appears she was taken out of the basement window and brought to the
yard,” the detective wrote. “At this point, she was beaten repeatedly
with a blunt object in the face.”<br />
<br />
“They think it was a brick, a patio brick,” St. Mary’s State’s Attorney Richard Fritz (R) said this week.<br />
<br />
Kimberly
Carter died at the scene, and police found James Carter a few hours
later at his home in a housing area off Route 5 near Great Mills. Court
papers state that he told the law officers that he left his three young
children there early that morning while he went out to “drive around,”
including stopping at 1 a.m. at a bank in California.<br />
<br />
Police found
the suspect had several minor injuries, court papers state, including
scratches and a large cut on his hands, a bruise on his lip and
scratches on his chest. The law officers found more blood on Wednesday
as their hunt for evidence took them to Willows Road near Lexington
Park.<br />
<br />
“They found some bloody clothes on the side of the road that
they assume are those of the person who is alleged to have committed
the murder,” Fritz said. “They will be subject to forensic
investigation, DNA testing.” Carter was charged with second-degree
murder in his wife’s death, as well as first-degree burglary.<br />
<br />
Witnesses
told police Kimberly Carter locked her doors before she went to bed,
court papers state, and the prosecutor said there was no evidence of a
forced entry to the residence.<br />
<br />
She and the suspect had been separated since the middle of last year, court papers state, when she moved out of their home.<br />
<br />
A
resident of the neighborhood where Kimberly Carter died this week said
she moved in there about six months ago. “She was a really nice person,”
the neighbor said.<br />
<br />
James Carter told a court commissioner after
his arrest this week that he worked at the post office in Great Mills,
and that he had been employed by the postal service for 13 years. An
employee at the post office declined to speak Thursday about Carter’s
employment.CMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13658819844910020130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529727954564016725.post-69241212946901509552013-02-24T17:43:00.000-05:002013-02-24T17:43:46.507-05:00Boise, ID: Husband charged in wife's death in Boise Bruce Macomb, 62, faces a first-degree murder charge for the
strangulation of Beba Macomb, 58, early Thursday at their home of 30
years.<br />
<br />
Police found the woman's body Thursday afternoon after
someone called 911 and asked them to check on the couple at their home
at 1620 W. Warren St., just east of South Federal Way.<br />
<br />
Bruce
Macomb walked out of the home when police arrived and had an injury to
his neck, officers say. Police then went inside and found his wife's
body.<br />
<br />
Police say they have developed undisclosed evidence that
Bruce Macomb killed his wife and injured himself. Bruce Macomb was taken
to a local hospital for treatment for the neck wound and was arrested
after his release early Friday afternoon.<br />
<br />
The homicide occurred
three days after Matthew Mohler-Kerns, 28, was fatally shot in his car
on Franklin Road. No charges have been filed in that case, although
Shawn Nathan Fisher - in jail on other charges - is considered a person
of interest.<br />
<br />
Police have released no information about a possible
motive in the Macomb homicide, which investigators believe was
premeditated because they recommended prosecutors charge it as a
first-degree murder case.<br />
<br />
Lynn Hightower, spokeswoman for the
Boise Police Department, said they had other possible witnesses in
addition to Bruce Macomb, but she declined to release more details.<br />
<br />
Bruce
Macomb was booked into the Ada County Jail shortly after noon Friday.
He won't be able to ask for bond until he makes his first court
appearance Monday afternoon.<br />
<br />
Public records show Bruce and Beba
Macomb lived at the Warren Street home since 1983. A woman who answered
the phone at a relative's home declined comment.<br />
<br />
Bruce Macomb does
not have a felony record in Idaho, according to court records. He
pleaded guilty to a DUI charge in 1996 and has had a few traffic
infractions since.<br />

sparked by a domestic violence incident Saturday night, Feb. 23.<br />
<br />
Douglas Garni of 245 Sunnyridge Ave. Apt. 23 was found dead of a
self-inflicted gunshot wound after police heard a single shot around 11
p.m.<br />
<br />
Police were called to the Colonial Gardens Condominium Complex at
7:24 p.m. Initial reports indicated a verbal domestic disputebetween a
boyfriend and girlfriend inside the condo. The girlfriend escaped to a
neighbor’s condo, followed by Garni. There she reported being threatened
and requested police.<br />
<br />
Garni, police said, returned to his residence after officers were called.<br />
<br />
The first arriving officers interviewed the girlfriend and learned
Garni had several weapons registered to him, which were inside the
condo.<br />
<br />
A perimeter was set outside the condo awaiting the arrival of the
emergency services units.<br />
<br />
Bridgeport and Fairfield ESU, along with
Fairfield and Norwalk hostage negotiators arrived on scene attempting to
make contact with Garni, according to Fairfield Police.<br />
<br />
Several nearby condos had to be evacuated and those residents were
assisted by Fairfield firefighters. Residents were relocated to Fire
Station 2 for the duration of the incident.<br />
<br />
American Medical Response and Fairfield Fire Department personnel
remained on scene and staged in the area of High Street and Raymond
Drive in the event they were needed to provide medical assistance. The
Fire Department also provided a heat seeking unit to help the ESU teams.<br />
<br />
For several hours negotiators unsuccessfully attempted to make contact with Garni by phone and audible PA systems, police said.<br />
<br />
Around 11 p.m., a single gunshot was heard from the wooded area just
north of Garni’s condo. ESU members closed the perimeter, searching the
wooded area, which quickly led to the discovery of Garni’s body.<br />
<br />
Preliminary reports indicate that he sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.<br />
<br />
The area remained an active crime scene until 2 a.m. Sunday, until
the scene could be processed by detectives and the State Medical
Examiner’s office personnel concluded their on-scene investigation.<br />
Police expressed sadness at the outcome of the situation.CMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13658819844910020130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529727954564016725.post-11289181323880401542013-02-22T09:30:00.001-05:002013-02-22T09:30:12.134-05:00Kokomo, IN: Ind. man faces assisting suicide in wife's death<div xmlns:apcm="http://ap.org/schemas/03/2005/apcm" xmlns:apnm="http://ap.org/schemas/03/2005/apnm" xmlns:o="http://w3.org/ns/odrl/2/" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

<br />
Just before 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, IMPD officers were sent to a house in the 1800 block of North Priscilla Avenue on reports that two deceased individuals were inside the home. <br />
<br />
When officers arrived, they found the body of a man and a woman.<br />
<br />
Homicide detectives identified the victims as married couple Brandy Payne, 27, and Cory Gaines, 31. <br />
<br />
The Marion County Coroner had yet to confirm the cause of death, but the police report stated that officers found a gun at the scene. <br /> <br />Investigators said the couple had no prior instances of domestic violence.<br />
<br />
Family members said the couple had been married for six years.CMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13658819844910020130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529727954564016725.post-56078202538402874672013-02-22T09:00:00.000-05:002013-02-22T09:00:03.338-05:00Miami, FL: Miami father kills young son, himself in shooting rampageThe father of four who went on a shooting rampage in the family’s Miami home was once known for a more uplifting reason – his love of aviation and hot-air ballooning.<br />
<br />
Carlos Zuniga, 45, took his own life Wednesday night after shooting his wife, Michelle, 43, and children Lauren, 14, and Stefan, 11.<br />
<br />
Stefan died Thursday. Lauren and her mother remain in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital. <br />
<br />
The sudden spasm of violence in the quiet Coral Way-area neighborhood left detectives, relatives and friends struggling to understand why Zuniga turned on his family. The family had no apparent history of domestic violence.<br />
<br />
Certainly, there were clues. He had held several different jobs in the past few years — and most recently, appeared to be closing the family’s hot-air ballooning company, said family friend Colin Graham.<br />
<br />
The couple opened the company in 2005 under the name Winds Aloft Aviation Inc. It was commonly known as Miami Balloon rides.<br />
<br />
Graham, who worked as a balloon pilot for the family and now runs Arizona’s Endeavor Ballooning, called Michelle Zuniga “a great mom.”<br />
<br />
“Michelle and the kids were great people. She is an absolute sweetheart. I have nothing but good things to say about her,” Graham said. “Stefan looked just like his father. Almost identical, like a mini-version of him.”<br />
<br />
Zuniga had recently put one of his balloons on sale on an industry website. Graham said he knew the family still enjoyed hot air ballooning recreationally, but did not seem to be doing so well professionally.<br />
<br />
The company’s website appears to be defunct, the phone number disconnected.<br />
<br />
Carlos Zuniga recently had started working as an aviation safety inspector at the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA recently announced it would have to make major cuts – including furloughs for employees – under federal sequestration. <br />
<br />
Before the FAA, Zuniga worked as a pilot for DHL, an international package shipping company, and before that, flew 737s for Miami Air. <br />
<br />
The Zunigas were married in 1998. Neighbors said Carlos Zuniga also had two adult children from a previous marriage.<br />
<br />
In an interview with The Miami Herald in 2011, Michelle Zuniga said they founded the company so she could spend more time with her family. The company has taken thousands of people on hot air balloon rides in South Florida.<br />
<br />
“We fly in the Redland,” she said. “It’s a beautiful area, and you have a fantastic view of the ocean, the Everglades and what is in the southern part of Dade County, which people don’t even know exists.”<br />
<br />
On Wednesday night, a neighbor called 911 shortly after 9:30 p.m. about a disturbance, possibly shots fired, at the home at 2610 SW 24th St.<br />
<br />
Miami police rushed to the scene. Another neighbor, who asked not to be identified, told The Miami Herald that he had heard four “pops.”<br />
<br />
Neighbor Xavier Cal, who lives next to the Zunigas, said he saw a woman collapse on the patio in front of her home Wednesday night.<br />
<br />
“She was lying on the lawn,” he said. “Later, I heard the last shot inside the house.”<br />
<br />
Miami police spokesman William Moreno said Thursday morning “screaming and possible gunshots were heard from inside the home,” as officers arrived.<br />
<br />
“Officers quickly assembled a small team and made entry into the home to protect those in danger,” Moreno said.<br />
<br />
Miami homicide detectives hope to learn more about what may have caused the tragedy when Michelle Zuniga’s relatives arrive from out of state. She remains in critical condition, unable to talk.<br />
<br />
“We’ve never heard them fight. The police have never come to the house,” Cal said of the Zunigas. <br />
“I’m in shock.”<br />
<br />
“It’s an extremely calm neighborhood,” said Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado, who lives about five blocks from the Zuniga residence. “Never, in my 30 years here, have I seen a violent crime in this neighborhood.” <div style="color: black; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 10pt/normal sans-serif; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-transform: none; width: 1px;">

Anthony
T. Utterback was charged with second-degree murder and use of a weapon
to commit a felony for allegedly stabbing Ryan P. O'Donnell early
Friday. Police arrested Utterback soon after the incident in South
Omaha.<br />
<br />
Officers found O'Donnell injured near 40th and Y Streets
shortly after midnight. The victim was taken to Creighton University
Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.<br />
<br />
A prosecutor told
Douglas County Judge Sheryl Lohaus that Utterback had confronted
O'Donnell, who was dating his estranged wife. Utterback allegedly pulled
a knife and O'Donnell grabbed a crowbar.<br />
<br />
The prosecutor said that
Utterback stabbed O'Donnell with the knife and that O'Donnell struck
back with the crowbar. Utterback appeared in court on crutches.<br />
<br />
Both O'Donnell and Utterback have lived in Bellevue, but police did not release their current addresses.<br />

arrested in Las Vegas on a murder count in the stabbing death of his
girlfriend, Metro Police said.<br />
<br />
Ricardo Glasgow, 53, of Los
Angeles and his girlfriend Sharron Jones, 49, had been arguing Sunday
night at a home in the 1500 block Silver Knoll Avenue, Metro Police said
in a report released Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Witnesses alleged that Glasgow
threatened Jones with a knife earlier in the evening and said, “Nobody
in this house can save you” and “you’re going to die,” according to the
report.<br />
<br />
Shortly after, Glasgow grabbed another knife from the
kitchen, police said. Two women in the home saw Glasgow stab Jones
multiple times with the knife, the report said.<br />
<br />
The two witnesses
tried to stop Glasgow by throwing things at him, but they were
unsuccessful, the report said. They called police and fled to the roof,
fearing Glasgow would turn the knife on them, police said.<br />
<br />
Officers
arrived at the home about 11:30 p.m. Sunday and saw the two women on
the roof and Glasgow in the front yard, police said. His shirt had blood
on it, and when police called to him, he went back inside, the report
said.<br />
<br />
When officers entered the home, they heard Glasgow say, “Come get me,” and “come see what I’m doing,” the report said.<br />
<br />
The
officers found Glasgow standing over Jones with a large knife, the
report said. Glasgow didn’t obey the officers’ commands to surrender,
forcing them to use a stun gun to subdue him, police said.<br />
<br />
Jones, of southern California, was taken to University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 3:04 a.m. Monday.<br />
<br />
Glasgow was wanted on California warrant for a parole violation stemming from an attempted murder charge in 2005, police said.<br />
<br />
Glasgow
was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on counts of murder
with a deadly weapon, kidnapping with a deadly weapon, resisting police
with a deadly weapon, and the fugitive warrant.<br />

A suspect has been arrested in the Monday night shooting of a young mother found dead in the driveway of a DeKalb County home.<br />
<br />
Carlos
Jerome Simpson, 23, who lived at the Eagles Nest Circle home where the
shooting occurred, was booked into the DeKalb jail early Tuesday,
charged with felony murder, according to jail records.<br />
<br />
Simpson’s
sister, Lawana Simpson, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the
victim, identified by police as 20-year-old Shikhira Dunson, was her
brother’s girlfriend and the mother of his 10-month-old child.<br />
<br />
Dunson was shot during an argument, according to DeKalb police Assistant Chief J.W. Conroy.<br />
<br />
“Last night, I was bathing my kids and my son came in and said they were arguing,” Lawana Simpson said.<br />
<br />
She said her brother went outside, and Dunson “came outside and was messing with him.”<br />
<br />
“I didn’t know that my brother had the gun,” Lawana Simpson said. “He didn’t know it was going to go off.”<br />
<br />
Lawana
Simpson said her brother was pointing the gun at Dunson, and his
girlfriend grabbed the gun and it fired. “She grabbed it and it happened
quick,” she said.<br />
<br />
Carlos Simpson drove away after the shooting, but was later arrested, Conroy said.<br />
<br />
“It’s a tragedy,” said Charles Simpson, the suspect’s father.<br />
<br />
“We loved her like she was our own,” he said of Dunson.<br />
<br />
“This wasn’t no hate thing,” he said. “It just happened, and now she’s gone from us.”<br />
<br />
The fatal shooting happened on the eve of the funeral for another of Charles Simpson’s children.<br />
<br />
He said his oldest son, Charles Simpson Jr., was killed in prison earlier this month.<br />
<br />
Charles
Simpson Jr. was serving a sentence for aggravated assault when he died
Feb. 10 during a scuffle at Smith State Prison near Glennville. His
death is being investigated by the GBI.<br />
<br />
Charles Simpson Jr.’s funeral is set for Tuesday afternoon at Emmanuel Spiritual Holy Temple in southeast Atlanta.</div>

<br />
Carmelita Williams faces a second-degree murder charge.<br />
<br />
She told authorities that her boyfriend had physically and verbally
assaulted her last week in Whippoorwill. According to court documents,
the boyfriend blocked the door of a hogan, gave Williams a pistol and
told her she couldn't leave unless she shot him.<br />
<br />
Williams says her boyfriend pointed the pistol at himself while she
held it in her left hand. She then fired a round into his chest,
holding her son in the other arm.<br />
<br />
Williams told authorities she tried to call 911 but did not have
cellphone service, and her relatives' phones didn't work either.<br />

<span class="paragraph-0">
A former Monument man is suspected in the stabbing death of two young children in Falcon.<br />
<br />
</span>
<span class="paragraph-1">
Ethan Courrau, 22, allegedly stabbed his girlfriend's children and is believed to have then turned the weapon on himself.<br />
<br />
</span>
According to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office a
call came in at 11:12 p.m. on Feb. 13 of a reported stabbing. When
deputies arrived at a mobile home located on the property of the
Remington Ranch Equestrian Stables in Falcon they found 19-month-old
Scarlett Gallagher dead and her three-year-old brother Ryan Willhite
with serious injuries. Willhite was transported to the hospital where he
later died from his injuries. The young boy would have been
four-years-old on Feb. 26.<br />
<br />
Deputies also found Courrau with injuries and transported him to the hospital where he too died.<br />
<br />
El Paso County Sheriff's Office public information
officer Lt. Jeff Kramer said all indications lead to Courrau's injuries
being self-inflicted but they are still waiting on the autopsy results
to confirm that.<br />
<br />
Kramer said Courrau was the boyfriend of the victim's
mother Katie Cane but was uncertain if Courrau lived at the mobile
home. He did say that the 9-1-1 call was made by the grandmother of the
victims. It is believed that Cane was not at home at the time of the
stabbing and when she arrived home she found her children and Courrau.<br />
<br />
Courrau is the son of Beth Courrau, a member of the
board of directors for Woodmoor Water and Sanitation District and the
former president of the North El Paso County Coalition of Community
Organizations.<br />
<br />
In a statement to another media outlet the Courrau
family said, “We are heartbroken for all of the families impacted by the
tragic news that has unfolded.”<br />
<br />
The statement goes on to say, “It is impossible to
wrap our minds around this. There are so many unanswered questions of
which we may never know the answers. We loved our son deeply. Ethan
struggled with being bipolar 1, and as his parents we actively helped
him seek medical treatment.”<br />
<br />
The sheriff's office is still conducting their
investigation. An account has been set up at Ent Federal Credit Union to
help the family of the young victims. It is under “Memorial Account for
Scarlett and Ryan.”<br />

HIGH POINT —</div>
A High Point man has been charged with murder in the death of his wife, police announced Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Patrol officers responded to a domestic disturbance call at 2113
Wingate Place about 2:25 p.m. Monday and found a female inside the
residence who had been assaulted and was unconscious.<br />
<br />
The victim, Safiya Dadacha, was taken to High Point Regional Hospital.
Investigators said her husband, Arab Mohamed Ali, 33, made the call to
police.<br />
<br />
“He said they’d had a fight and then was really vague about what
happened,” said High Point Police Department Capt. Tim Ellenberger. “We
could tell she had obviously been assaulted.”<br />
<br />
Dadacha, who died on Tuesday, had wounds consistent with a beating and
possible strangulation, but detectives are awaiting autopsy results to
try to get a better understanding of exactly how she died, he said.<br />
<br />
“There was no blood and no broken bones. It’s strange,” Ellenberger
said. “I don’t think there was a weapon involved. There was some assault
with hands.”<br />
<br />
Ali was taken into custody Monday evening after being questioned by
detectives. He was charged with murder on Tuesday and was jailed under
no bond, pending an initial court appearance.<br />
<br />
“When we finally got the doctors to say what it looked like, we started
talking to him about what happened, and then we were able to piece it
together,” Ellenberger said. “He didn’t confess to killing her, of
course, but we were able to piece what he told us together with the
evidence on the body, what little there was.”<br />
<br />
The couple’s two children, ages 2 and 4, were home at the time, but
investigators weren’t sure whether they saw the assault, he said. The
family is from Ethiopia.<br />
<br />
The children are in the custody of the Department of Social Services, police said.<br />
<br />
The residence is one of three two-story units in a building off
Brentwood Street in southeast High Point. Dadacha’s death is the first
homicide in the city in 2013.<br />
<br />
Police said their investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is
asked to call High Point Crimestoppers at 889-4000 or Lt. Kevin Ray at
887-7830.CMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13658819844910020130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529727954564016725.post-68473315254714966632013-02-20T17:40:00.001-05:002013-02-20T17:40:19.822-05:00Penhook, VA: Smith Mountain Lake dock owners dead in apparent murder-suicide <div class="content">

shot dead overnight after getting caught in a crossfire between police
and an armed suspect who barricaded himself inside his apartment. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Andrew
Cairns, 49, surrendered himself early Wednesday morning following a
seven-hour standoff in Warminster Township during which he had fired
numerous rounds from a high-caliber handgun, according to police.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The
drama unfolded at around 4pm Tuesday when police say Cairns was
involved in a domestic disturbance with his common-law wife in the 2000
building at the Jefferson on the Creek apartment complex at 675 East
Street Road.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">A domestic
violence case worker was initially dispatched to the scene, but nearly
four hours later, a second call came from the residence about shots
being fired, the </span><a href="http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20130220_Woman__90__killed_during_Warminster_cops_standoff_with_man.html" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Philadelphia Inquirer </span></a><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">reported. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Detectives
who were in the area on an unrelated matter rushed to the building and
were met with a barrage of bullets fired at by the suspect, who
barricaded himself inside his unit. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Officials said Cairns' wife was able to escape the apartment unharmed at around 8.30pm. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">All
the surrounding roads were closed and the apartment building was
evacuated, with about 40-60 residents being sent to the William Tenant
High School gymnasium where the Red Cross set up a temporary shelter.
The Davisville Shopping Center was also evacuated. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The responding cops took cover in a
nearby ravine and returned fire. Warminster Police Chief Mike Murphy
said during a press conference Wednesday morning that some of the rounds
whizzed by officers' heads, nearly striking them, </span><a href="http://www.phillyburbs.com/my_town/hamptons/year-old-woman-killed-in-cross-fire-during-warminster-stand/article_02885b47-01a5-5e05-98cc-9d85ffb7a7a7.html" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Phillyburbs.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"> reported. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">In
the protracted gun battle that followed, Cairns’ 90-year-old downstairs
neighbor was struck by a bullet and died at the scene from her
injuries. It remains unknown who shot the victim.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Her
body was discovered inside the unit at around 10.30pm. The woman's
relatives have since been notified of her death, but her name is being
withheld pending a positive identification by the coroner. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Cairns remained holed up inside his apartment for hours until a police negotiator finally managed to talk him into surrendering,</span><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><a href="http://northampton.patch.com/articles/elderly-neighbor-killed-by-gunfire-at-warminster-apartment-complex-suspect-surrenders#photo-13410779" rel="nofollow" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Patch.com</span></a><span style="font-size: 1.2em;"> reported. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">At
around 2.30am, he finally turned himself in to police and was charged
with aggravated assault. It is expected that the 49-year-old will face
additional counts. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 1.2em;">This
is not Cairns' first serious run-in with the law. In 2007, he was
charged with making terrorist threats, assault and reckless
endangerment, but the charges were dropped for lack of prosecution. </span><br />

<br />
Court records show that Treadwell had filed for an abuse prevention order against Brown on Dec. 19, 2012, alleging that a day earlier Brown had broken into her home, kicked a refrigerator door off its hinges and punched her in the face. A section of the document labeled "Notice to Law Enforcement" warned that Brown may have access to firearms.<br />
<br />
Under the order, which expired on Jan. 3, Brown was to stay at least 100 feet from Treadwell and two one-year-old children. Brown and Treadwell had been in a relationship and had two children together, according to court documents.<br /><br />A third victim in this morning's shooting, a 28-year-old city man, was shot at least twice in the incident,. He was taken to Baystate Medical Center and is expected to survive, Capt. Thomas Trites said. <br /><br />Trites declined to release the name of that victim. <br /><br /> The incident began shortly before 1:30 a.m. when Brown allegedly forced his way through the back door of 108 Wellington St., police said.<br /><br /> Brown, of 51 Dexter St., was confronted at the top of the stairs on the second floor by the 28-year-old male victim and Treadwell's juvenile son. A struggle ensued and Brown produced a gun, Trites said. <br /><br /> The juvenile then locked himself in the bathroom and the 28-year-old was shot in the arm as he jumped out a second floor window to escape, Trites said. <br /><br /> The 28-year-old landed on the lawn and Brown, firing from the upstairs window, shot again, hitting him in the shoulder, Trites said. <br /><br /> Brown then shot and killed Treadwell inside the home before turning the gun on himself, Trites said. <br /><br /> The juvenile and other children who were inside the home were not injured, and are now under the care of relatives, Trites said.
