| FAIRMONT MURDER - Fairmont Police believe 56-year-old Jeffery Hovatter killed his ex-wife, 62-year-old Nancy Shaw, at her home.
Fairmont officers responded to a domestic disturbance where a woman was screaming. Officers made their way into the home and determined that the screams were coming from upstairs.
As officers started to go up a narrow stairway, two gunshots went off and officers left, waiting for back-up units. At that time it was not known how many people were in the home, or who they were.
When members of the Marion County Sheriff's Department, Natural Resource Police and the State Police got on scene, the crews treated the scene as a barricaded suspect. They tried to use a negotiator to make contact with whoever was inside.
Marion County SWAT officers entered the home. They found Shaw dead, and Hovatter injured in an upstairs bedroom. Shaw was shot in the head and Hovatter had an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the face.
Hovatter was flown to Ruby Memorial Hospital. He is facing murder charges and is in currently in stable but critical condition. He's under police supervision.
