FLINTSTONE, Ga. — When Pat Denton heard the gunshot from her neighbors’ house, she didn’t even look up from washing dishes.
“I didn’t think about calling the law because it was such a routine,” she said.
But when the Flintstone woman went to the store and came home 30 minutes later, her neighbor’s house was surrounded by flashing blue lights and yellow police tape.
Neighbors of D.C. and Jimmie Hollis said it was normal to hear the couple fighting loudly and to hear shots from D.C. Hollis’ gun in the backyard after he’d been drinking.
This time, though, police say Jimmie Hollis had the gun and she used it to shoot her husband in the head while he was sitting on the love seat in their rented house on state Highway 193.
