Burnt Casserole sparks argument and shooting death of husband by wife
38 year old Frazier, Pennsylvania resident Teresa Drum is is in police custody and is the primary suspect in the shooting death of her husband Dennis Drum. Details are still unclear but it appears that according to Teresa, her and 42 year old Dennis had been arguing over a burnt casserole. She states that he was “insulting and cursing” at her after the culinary mishap. According to police, Ms. Drum is claiming that the drunken argument ended when her husband shot himself in the forehead after she had taken his last beer while she was calling 911.
Unfortunately for her police also claim that when she called 911 at 10:30pm her husband was already shot dead in their bedroom according to investigators on the scene. That plus the fact that police have discovered a test of her late husband’s dead body to a friend of Ms. Drum’s not to mention they allegedly have evidence that she showered before her 911 call.
During questioning the suspected spouse killer made claims that her husband was on their bed while she was looming over him when he suddenly pulled his gun from his holster and she immediately put her finger on the trigger along with his and that’s when it went off.
(Man if I had a nickel every time that happens to me…)
Held in Allegheny County Jail without bail, Teresa Drum is now facing a criminal homicide conviction after examination of the images discovered on her phone of the deceased taken 11 minutes before the 911 call show NO gun anywhere near him while police photos from the crime scene show a gun IN HIS HAND as he was found by officers.
The couple have two young children that were home during the incident whom are staying with family and whose ages and names as of yet have not been released.
