The Long Island correction officer accused of murdering her former flame and uncle in a violent rampage sobbed Thursday before she was ordered held without bail.

Kim Wolfe, 43, kept her head down, but could be heard crying, as she was led out of Nassau County Police Headquarters in Mineola.

At her tightly-guarded arraignment about an hour later, Wolfe did not enter a plea to murder, kidnapping and assault charges.

The Nassau County correction officer remained in a holding pen behind frosted glass. Her lawyer, Fred Annibale, had no comment.

Wolfe went on a murderous spree Wednesday, fatally shooting ex-girlfriend Stacie Williams, 45, before returning to her family's home in Hempstead and opening fire on her relatives, cops say

Wolfe allegedly pumped several bullets into Williams, a nurse's aid, outside of Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow about 1:35 a.m., after dropping off a McDonald's sandwich and fries, cops say.

Police say Wolfe then sped to Hempstead, gunned down Michael Williams, 56, and shot her 88-year-old grandfather Marshall Williams in the leg.
His injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Wolfe took one of her nieces hostage and led cops on a hours-long search that ended when she was pulled over by officers about 5:45 a.m., police say.

Investigators believe that Wolfe's shooting spree was triggered by an acrimonious split with her ex - and a dispute over insurance money with her relatives.

Stacie Williams' sister said Wolfe gave no indication she was harboring a grudge when her sibling's ex visited her just a few days before the shooting.

"They didn't get into any arguments," sister Sharon Worley said. "Nothing got out of hand."

Sources told Newsday that Wolfe had voluntarily surrendered two guns to the Nassau County Sheriff's Department on May 20, 2009, but got them back at her request on Monday.

"I'm livid about that that," Worley said.

Worley added that it was likely her sister was helping Wolfe get over the recent loss of her father.

"She was loved by everyone," Worley said. "It's not just a loss for the family. The community is mourning as well."
