How they died

No

Deputies shot James Stallings after he reportedly fatally wounded his estranged wife in the parking lot of the nursing home where she worked. At around 2 p.m., deputies responded to a report of shots fired at the Baisch Nursing Center. Deputies watched James Stallings scream at Carolyn Stallings, 68, and shove her into the pavement. James got into a convertible while holding a gun to Carolyn's stomach as she hung out of the other. James then reportedly shot Carolyn in the back when she tried to escape. A tactical officer then shot James, killing him.
