A family dinner in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, on October 19, 2015, ended in a domestic shooting that killed 57-year-old Laura Reid and her 32-year-old daughter, Mary Ann Reid. Eric Allen Reid, Laura’s husband and Mary Ann’s father, reportedly retrieved a handgun, shot Laura first, then shot Mary Ann. A pregnant daughter, Heather, was also struck in the arm and survived. Mary Ann’s two young children witnessed the shootings; Eric Reid told the surviving daughter to call 911.

Officers arriving at the Northwood Trail residence found Laura and Mary Ann dead and took Eric Reid into custody without incident. He admitted the shootings to investigators, was charged with two counts of capital murder, and was later found guilty and sentenced to death by lethal injection. Does anyone have information about the family dynamics or the days leading up to October 19 that could help clarify what happened?
