WOMAN SHOTS WOMAN IN HEAD - A Fairmont woman was arrested for murder early Monday morning after Fairmont police said she shot another woman in the head.
Alma Barnett, 46, shot Carol Zurasky, 46, of Fairmont, in the forehead with a .22 caliber revolver, according to police.
Police said Barnett made comments to witnesses prior to the shooting that if Zurasky came to her apartment, she would shoot her. These comments were following an altercation Barnett and Zurasky had earlier in the evening, police said.
Police also said physical evidence at the scene, along with witness statements, contradict Barnett's account of what happened.
"She described a confrontation that lasted several minutes, but we don't believe it lasted that long and that she reacted pretty quick with the shooting," said Chief Steve Shine of the Fairmont Police Department. "There was no evidence at the scene indicating self defense."
Witnesses told police that Barnett did not appear to be fearful of Zurasky when the comment about shooting her was made.
Barnett is in North Central Regional Jail. She is being held without bond.
