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.
Right here.
The current conversation you can’t let go of started when I deeply offended you by saying that every gun owner thinks they’re responsible. Every school shooter, every negligent “I didn’t know it was loaded” tragedy, every last suicide, without a single fucking exception, thought at the time that they were a responsible gun owner. But since your personal identity as a Responsible Gun Owner requires that to be a title you can convey upon yourself, you can’t admit that anyone who claims it can be mistaken. Because what if you’re one of the mistaken ones?
Now have the last word. Unlike you, I can end a conversation without pretending to start a new one.
