Warning: Article has detailed accounts of the shooting
Breanna Gayle Devall Runions, 25, was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse in the death of Evangaline Gunter.
The child’s parents, Adam and Josie Gunter, told ABC affiliate WATE that Evangaline had been in temporary custody at a home in Rockwood, which Runions shared with girlfriend Christina Daniels and another child, a 7-year-old girl.
Before the shooting, Evangaline and the older girl were being punished that morning by Runions for not waking up the women and for eating Daniels’ food without permission, according to the warrant and a statement from Russell Johnson, district attorney general for Tennessee’s 9th Judicial District. Runions struck both girls with a sandal before forcing them to stand in different corners of the women’s bedroom, authorities said the older girl told them.
After the shooting, the women drove Evangaline to a nearby Walmart location to meet an ambulance, Roane County Medical Examiner Dr. Thomas Boduch told the Roane County News, and the vehicle transported the girl to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. Boduch could not immediately be reached by HuffPost.
How about “Only licensed, trained, competent owners should be allowed to have guns?”
She obviously was none of the 3
I’d have no problem with that whatsoever. That still doesn’t break my point away that she should have never had the children in the first place. She struck children who were not even hers, she wanted an excuse to kill is all.
However, you can narrow it down to licensed and competent. You aren’t getting a license in anything without training.
If it makes you feel better, she cannot legally own a firearm now that she is a convicted felon. Don’t you even dare think that is going to stop her from being able to kill again. Felons can’t have firearms, but remember that firearms are not the only ranged weapons out there.
