Kentucky woman goes on shooting rampage, kills husband, sister before dying in shootout with brother: police

Published

on

A Kentucky woman went on a wild shooting rampage, killing her husband and gunning down her own sister before she was killed by her brother in a shootout, police said.

Angela Gosser, 56, is accused of driving to her brother’s house on Friday, May 3 in Jamestown with a gun and forcing her way into the home. Her brother, Darryl Wilson, 58, was home at the time, and according to a press release from the Kentucky State Police, he had a gun too. 

Police said the two siblings got into a shootout that ended with Gosser dead. Wilson was injured and taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

But the extent of Gosser’s crime spree, according to police, only became apparent when authorities were called to her sister, Jennifer Wilson’s, home for a welfare check.

Jennifer Wilson’s family said they weren’t able to get in touch with her and were concerned for her safety, according to the press release. 

When authorities arrived at the home in Russell County, they made a grisly discovery.

Troopers and deputies found Jennifer Wilson sitting in the driver’s seat of a Toyota Camry with apparent fatal gunshot wounds to the head.   

Police said they believe that before the incident at her brother’s house, Gosser came across Jennifer Wilson and shot at her multiple times through the car’s passenger side – leaving her for dead.

Larry Gosser was a retired Sergeant with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife after 16 years of service, according to Wilson Funeral Home records. 

Police told local station WKYT that Larry Gosser was working on a tree on his property in western Pulaski County when his wife opened fire on him, killing him. 

“Right now, that is open for investigation. We are still working with detectives and looking for leads. They are back there working to find the end of it,” Pulaski County Sheriff Bobby Jones told WKYT.

If you want to avoid getting into a car accident, you might want to stick to walking in Memphis instead of driving.

The Tennessee city was ranked as the place with the highest rate of deadly car accidents in the U.S., according to a study by the ConsumerAffairs research team.

Car crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) 2022 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the NHTSA’s Crash Report Sampling System helped determine the rankings. 

The ConsumerAffairs report contains deadly and non-deadly accident data for cars, light trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans. Each city and state were ranked by the number of car crashes per 100,000 people in the defined area.

Memphis topped the list of 195 U.S. cities analyzed, with 207 deadly car crashes in 2022 – marking 33.33 per 100,000 – nearly triple the nationwide rate of 11.77 per 100,000 people.

“This finding may not surprise ConsumerAffairs readers, as Memphis was the top-ranked city in our worst drivers in America study last year,” the consumer news platform said.

Rounding out the top 10 are Daytona Beach, Florida; Ocala, Florida; Macon, Georgia; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Albany, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; Birmingham, Alabama; Tucson, Ariz. and St. Louis, Missouri. 

While Memphis had the highest rate of fatal crashes per 100,000, it was sixth for total number of deadly crashes for 2022. Los Angeles topped that list with 341, followed by Houston, Phoenix, New York City, and Dallas.

On the other end of the spectrum, Reading, Pennsylvania, was determined to be the city with the lowest rate of car crashes in 2022, with 1.05 accidents per 100,000 people.

“Reading was one of four with only one fatal car accident the whole year. The others were Passaic, New Jersey; Ames, Iowa; and Iowa City, Iowa,” ConsumerAffairs said. 

New York City ranked low for crashes per 100,000. While its 228 deadly accidents were fourth highest in the nation, this was relativesly low given a population of more than 8 million people, many of whom use public transportation.

ConsumerAffairs recommends drivers “get good car insurance and an auto warranty,” stating that most car insurance packages cover car damage or anyone who gets hurt during a crash.

A former military police officer convicted in Brazil of multiple murders for his part in a 2015 massacre was indicted in Boston Wednesday for allegedly using a fraudulently obtained visa to enter the U.S. and then lying on his asylum application, the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts announced.

Antonio Jose De Abreu Vidal Filho, 30, never disclosed to immigration authorities his involvement in the murders of 11 people, mostly teenagers, in Brazil in an incident known as “The Slaughter of Curió or the “Curio Massacre.” The incident was named after the neighborhood in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza where they occurred.

According to prosecutors, De Abreu was convicted in 2023 by a criminal court in Brazil, along with three other military police officers, of 11 murder charges, charges of attempted murder and physical and mental torture. 

Many others were seriously injured and tortured, and De Abreu was sentenced to nearly 276 years in prison for the crimes. The massacre took place in retaliation for the death of a police officer shot and killed attempting to defend his wife, who was being assaulted.

De Abreu was arrested and detained by Brazilian police in 2016 but was subsequently released pending trial in 2017.

He then fled Brazil for Miami after applying for and securing a B2 visa. Prosecutors say De Abreu wrote “no” on his visa application when asked if he had ever been arrested or convicted of a crime. 

In the years that followed, De Abreu obtained various state driver’s licenses, a Social Security card, travel documents and authorizations for employment. 

In January 2020, De Abreu applied for asylum and denied ever being arrested in any country other than the U.S. He also never disclosed the crimes when applying for lawful permanent resident status.

De Abreu was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Rye, New Hampshire, a small coastal town, in August after he became the subject of an active Interpol Red Notice issued by the international criminal police organization following his conviction in Brazil. An Interpol Red Notice serves as an international wanted notice and provides information on the identification of fugitives charged with or convicted of serious crimes who have fled prosecution or the serving of their sentence.

The Boston Herald reports that De Abreu was living in the U.S. with his family when he was busted.

Then, at an immigration hearing in February, De Abreu allegedly denied he had ever lied to immigration officials and said that the only reason he had left off important information on immigration documents was because he had not yet been arrested.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts indicted De Abreu on two counts of visa fraud, two counts of perjury and one count of falsifying, concealing and covering up a material fact.

He faces up to 20 years in prison, up to 11 years supervised release and up to $750,000 in fines.

He was ordered detained pending a hearing June 5.

Chiefs' Isaiah Buggs turns himself in to police, charged with 2 counts of second-degree animal cruelty

Published

on

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs turned himself in Thursday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to face animal cruelty charges.

Buggs faces two charges of animal cruelty to dogs or cats after two dogs allegedly were found “severely malnourished, emaciated and neglected” on the back porch of a rental home he was staying at earlier this year. 

WBRC FOX6 reporter Bryan Henry attempted to ask Buggs for a comment after posting bond shortly after turning himself in, but he put his hand on Henry’s camera and said, “Don’t walk up in front of me.” Buggs, then, got into the truck of his bail bondsman. 

Neither the Chiefs nor Buggs’ representatives immediately responded to Fox News Digital for a request for comment.

Buggs, who joined the Chiefs on their practice squad just before their Super Bowl run earlier this year, is being accused of leaving a gray and white pit bull and black rottweiler on the back porch of a home in Tuscaloosa without food or water. The pit bull was allegedly free to back in the screened-in porch, but the rottweiler was in a metal cage in direct sunlight. 

According to civil documents obtained by the Tuscaloosa Patch, police received information on March 28 that dogs were left on the porch. Witnesses claim Buggs moved out of the home on March 19 due to owing over $3,100 in back rent.

The Chiefs have had an eventful offseason, and run-ins with the law have made headlines, especially in the case of second-year receiver Rashee Rice’s car crash in Dallas. Rice was also accused of striking a photographer at a Dallas nightclub, but no charges were filed. 

Buggs joined the Chiefs Jan. 4 after playing 10 games with the Detroit Lions, where he totaled 12 tackles and one sack. 

Buggs never saw time for the Chiefs as a member of their practice squad. However, he does get a Super Bowl ring for being a part of the squad that went back-to-back in the big game.
