Update: North Idaho Gunfight Claims 3 Lives


Jesse Tinsley/Spokesman-Review

Bartender Daina Oliver talks about her former neighbors Rick and Rose Turner at the bar in the Calder Store today. The Turners were found at the scene of what appears to be a domestic gunfight in which Rick and Rose' parents were found dead and Rose clinging to life with a gunshot wound to the head.

A woman apparently shot her estranged husband to death Thursday in a Calder, Idaho, gunfight that also claimed the lives of her parents and put her in the hospital with a gunshot wound in her head. Rose Turner had confided to coworkers in recent days that she worried her husband, Rick Turner, would kill her. It appears her concerns were realized when he came to the home Thursday and a gunfight ensued. Rose Turner, 43, was seriously injured when she was shot in the eye area. She is in serious condition at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane. Her parents, who lived with her, were killed.
