REDDING, Calif. — A woman suspected of shooting her new daughter-in-law in the head one day after the victim’s wedding was being held Thursday in lieu of $1-million bail.
The shooting occurred at a funeral wake Saturday in the remote Shasta County town of Hat Creek. A sheriff’s deputy said it was precipitated by the younger woman’s refusal to allow her mother-in-law to use a truck belonging to the suspect’s son.
Yvonne Ann Elmore, 30, is in critical condition, Deputy Dist. Atty. Stew Jankowitz said.
The mother-in-law, Audrey Winn, 46, of Burney in Shasta County, disapproved of the marriage, said Raymond Sloan, a pallbearer at the funeral.
Winn’s son, Woody Elmore, was the family’s breadwinner and took care of his mother, Sloan said.
