On a Sunday night in December 2015, 53-year-old Jackie Saunders was shot and killed inside his family’s home in Catoosa County, Chickamauga, Georgia. The shooting occurred during a violent domestic incident in which Jackie began assaulting his 78-year-old father, Jack Saunders. Their 50-year-old sister, Cynthia Saunders, was present and repeatedly begged Jackie to stop.

When Cynthia’s pleas did not stop the assault, she retrieved a gun and fired, fatally wounding Jackie. Jack Saunders was taken to a local hospital for treatment and released shortly afterward. Law enforcement investigated and concluded Cynthia had acted in defense of their father; no charges were filed against her in connection with Jackie’s death.

Are there readers who knew the Saunders family or witnessed that night who can add details?
