 Arkansas State Police say a husband and wife were found shot to death in their Judsonia home late yesterday It's a crime that's shaken up the entire community. Police found Bronson Dinwiddie, 35, and Renee Dinwiddie, 29, shot to death inside a home at 103 West Main in Judsonia, police believe a result of a murder-suicide but no one is saying who pulled the trigger. "I can't believe it, I really can't believe it," says neighbor Hanford Brooks. "That's horrible, it really is." Judsonia police received a 911 call from a family member around 6pm Sunday reporting the shooting. Three children were in the home at the time. And a source close to the investigation tells FOX16 News, the oldest of the kids, an 8-year old saw it happen. "I sure feel sorry for the kids, having to witness it,” Hanford says. “I wouldn't know what to think about it if I were in their shoes." Judsonia is a quiet town. People who live here say this crime, for whatever reason, came out of nowhere. Bronson Dinwiddie had worked at the White County Sheriff's Department for about three months as a jailer. Because it involved one of their own the sheriff's department asked ASP to take over the investigation. A check of records didn't turn up any report of domestic issues between Bronson and Renee Dinwiddie before yesterday. Bronson Dinwiddie worked at the Grimes Unit in Newport for the Arkansas Department of Corrections from December 2003 until November 2008 when he was fired for not showing up to work. "I don't understand why, this little town has always been quiet, I don't understand this," Brooks says. Hanford Brooks says he's just thinking about three small kids who have lost their parents to violence. |
