More
details have been released surrounding the shooting deaths of a
father and daughter in Woodward. Police say the suspect, 30-year-old
Shane Cole Allison, knew the victims and admitted to planning the
attack.
The
victims have been identified as 81-year-old Gary Mulbery and his
42-year-old daughter, Christina Alewine. According to investigators,
the three had arrived at Walmart together along with Allison’s
mother. While Mulbery and Alewine were loading groceries into their
vehicle, Allison reportedly exited the car and opened fire, killing
both before fleeing the scene.
Police
apprehended Allison nearby the Woodward High School, where he was
found carrying a .22 caliber revolver and a bag containing additional
weapons and ammunition. Authorities say Allison confessed to the
shootings and admitted he had planned the attack the day before.
Investigators
later searched Mulbery’s property, where Allison had been living,
and recovered parts of the firearms Allison allegedly modified to
carry out the attack. Prosecutors have since charged Allison with two
counts of first-degree murder and two counts of possessing sawed-off
firearms.
Authorities
are investigating whether a dispute over living arrangements may have
played a role in the shootings, as Mulbery reportedly owned the
property where Allison and his mother resided.
