Linda Cole, 61, was fatally shot on February 10, 2016, at the accounting firm where she was a partner in Hamilton, Alabama. The killing was part of a spree that morning that also left another man dead and the alleged gunman wounded.

Authorities identified the alleged shooter as 57-year-old Jimmy Cooper. Investigators say he first shot Donny Miller, a former business partner, at a law firm, then went to the nearby Lawler and Cole CPA’s, LLC office and shot Cole; Cooper had been a client of Cole’s. During a confrontation with law enforcement after the shootings, Cooper was shot in the arm and leg and taken into custody, and the State Bureau of Investigation was called to review the officer-involved shooting. Court records linked the violence to a prior business dispute and a lawsuit in which Cooper had been ordered to pay a substantial sum; Cooper was charged with two counts of capital murder.

Does anyone have information about Linda Cole, her work at Lawler and Cole CPA’s, or the events in Hamilton that morning?
