Alan Provencal

Deadly force

As Provencal's marriage began to crumble, and it looked more likely that he would be forced to surrender half his savings and sell the couple's house, his wife's attorney became more and more worried about her safety. Provencal did indeed fatally shoot his wife on the grounds of the court house. He then returned to his residence, pursued by police, and reportedly leveled a weapon at them before being shot to death.
