Site where Monteagle police chief fatally shot his hunting partner.Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency investigators will meet with District Attorney General Michael Taylor this week to discuss the case of the Monteagle police chief who killed his hunting partner.
TWRA still is compiling evidence about the death, which occurred Thursday morning in the Richard City area of Marion County, TWRA spokesman Dan Hicks said.
Virgil McNeece, 46, shot Stanley Whitman, 41, in the head with a shotgun, said Marion County Sheriff Ronnie Burnett, whose department assisted the TWRA.
Whitman died the next day at Erlanger hospital in Chattanooga. His family said he loved to hunt and had done it his whole life. He and McNeece worshipped together at Gum Springs United Methodist Church.
On Monday, McNeece said he is still shaken. He declined to comment for this story.
