On January 19, 2014, 86-year-old Frances Dresser was shot in the abdomen at Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center in Carson City, Nevada, while a patient in the third-floor rehabilitation ward receiving treatment for a prior injury. The shooting was reported to have occurred around 11:30 a.m. and involved her husband, 88-year-old William Dresser.

Frances was transferred to a Reno trauma center but died of the gunshot wound on January 22, 2014. William Dresser was arrested and initially charged with attempted murder; after Frances’s death the charges were amended to murder. The couple had been married for 63 years.

Are there readers who knew the Dressers or have information about what happened at the hospital that day?
