Norman B. Armstrong and his wife Janet Marie Armstrong were killed on July 22, 1987. The couple had gone target shooting with a man they considered a friend, Russell M. Anderson, near the I-80 overpass at 6000 West. Anderson, who was heavily intoxicated that day, shot and killed both Norman and Janet using a gun he had obtained from Norman Armstrong.

Investigators linked Anderson to this double homicide and to the later slaying of Frank R. Boulton on August 29, 1987. Anderson confessed to all three killings and pleaded guilty but mentally ill to each. A judge sentenced him to three consecutive five-years-to-life terms and ordered him to prison rather than a state hospital, finding him mentally retarded but not mentally ill. At a parole hearing years later Anderson expressed remorse and described being extremely intoxicated and confused during the Armstrongs’ murders.

Does anyone have memories of Norman or Janet, or information about the shooting that could shed more light on what happened that day?
