Vevay Woman Held in Custody After Shooting
VEVAY, Ind. (UPI) --- A milkman's wife was held for questioning today in the wounding of her husband and the gun death of a woman in whose home she found him visiting.
Mrs. Erma Jean Park, 30, admitted to Sheriff Albert D. Rosenberger that she fired shots from a pistol which killed Mrs. Dorothy Scott, 30, and wounded her husband, Robert Park, 35, so critically he may die.
Rosenberger said Mrs. Park telephoned his office late Wednesday and told him to hurry to Mrs. Scott's home.
"I just shot my husband," Roseberger quoted her saying.
When the sheriff arrived, he found Mrs. Scott dying in a pool of blood in the living room of her home on a knoll a mile north of Vevay, and Park lying on the kitchen floor with a bullet in his abdomen.
Park was rushed to Kings Daughters Hospital at Madison where doctors said he was in extremely critical condition.
Mrs. Park, shaken and in a state of shock, was unable to give authorities a coherent account of the shooting. She was held in Switzerland County Jail on open charges pending further questioning.
Park was an independent bulk milk hauler. His truck was parked in the driveway of the Scott home.
Mrs. Park was an employe of a Vevay industrial plant. Mrs. Scott's husband, Harlan, about 30, also worked at the same plant.
Mrs. Park has three children. Mrs. Scott was the mother of four and her children were playing in the yard when the shootings occurred.
