Overview
- Deputies responded Tuesday to a home on Sonco Avenue after reports that a woman had been shot during a domestic incident.
- Authorities said the woman was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and is now listed in stable condition.
- After hours of attempts to call the suspect out, deputies entered the residence around 8 p.m. and found Stoner dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
- The response brought a SWAT presence, road closures, and a modified dismissal at nearby Keene’s Crossing Elementary, which officials said kept all students safe.
- Neighbors said the victim is known as Patty and described her as an emergency room nurse, and they said Stoner was a doctor, while deputies have not released motive or confirmed the relationship.
