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.

    Nothing about this woman speaks conservative and some of it is contrary to that claim if anything.

    Haha what. We taking bets? White abusive woman from Tennessee playing with guns…

    Also, “no mention of firearm safety”? Straight from the article:

    According to a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrest warrant obtained by HuffPost, Runions told police that she had taken a 9 mm handgun out of its case, removed the magazine and called Evangaline over to “show her firearm safety.”

    Of course it’s a bullshit excuse and this lady is batshit crazy. It’s almost like it should be harder for the average dumbass to get a gun…

      White abusive woman from Tennessee playing with guns doesn’t have anything politically backing it whatsoever. Way to feed into stereotypes by the way, as if liberals don’t exist in the deep south or anything.

      I guarantee you that she did not say that because that is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. She said that to POLICE but it isn’t what happened.
