TEMPLE (December 28, 2009)—Kim Michelle Treacher, 42, who was badly wounded in a Christmas Day shooting that left Mark Allen Gibbs, 43, of Austin dead, underwent surgery Monday to remove blood from her lungs, her sister Malory Branch said.
Treacher remains in critical condition at Scott & White Hospital in Temple, Branch said.
Her estranged husband, Jack Treacher, 55, of Universal City, is charged with murder and aggravated assault in the shooting.
His bonds total $1 million.
The shooting was reported at about 11 p.m. on Christmas Day in the 4900 block of Midway Drive in Temple.
When officers arrived, they found Jeffrey Treacher sitting on the front porch of the home that his estranged wife and her sister shared.
Branch said Monday she was not home at the time of the shooting.
Gibbs, who was described as a longtime friend of Kim Treacher’s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said it appears that the gunman forced the front door of the house open, but then entered the rear of the home and shot Treacher and Gibbs with a handgun, police said.
Then, police say, the man called 911 and waited for officers to arrive.
