A domestic dispute in Osyka, Mississippi, ended with 71-year-old Newie Rushing dead from a gunshot wound at the couple’s home. The Pike County Coroner confirmed the death occurred at the residence. The shooting was reported by the Rushing family’s son, Ronnie Rushing, after which the Osyka Police Chief found Susan Rushing, also 71, on the floor crying and still holding a handgun.

She was taken for questioning by Pike County investigators and said her husband had threatened to kill her and other family members. Investigators noted prior allegations of abuse at the home. Susan Rushing was released without charges being filed.

Does anyone have information about the events leading up to the shooting or the couple’s history that could help clarify what happened?
