A West Virginia woman is accused of shooting and killing two men in an episode that was initially reported to law enforcement because a nail-gun accident. Hillary Paige Dennison, 27, was detained Sunday at the alleged murders of her daddy Harold Dennison, 62, along with her fiancé Beau Wasmer, 26.
She shot and killed the guys Sunday afternoon at 1250 Sunshine Mountain Road, a home in Williamstown, stated Wood County Sheriff Steve Stephens, based on WTAP.
Two individuals were supposedly hurt. Detectives found no evidence of a nail-gun explosion in the home, Stephens explained. Hillary Dennison allegedly confessed to shooting a gun in her dad Harold Dennison, inducing the two men’s deaths, according to the local news record.
The defendant’s father died at the scene,” Stephens said, based on The Parkersburg News and Sentinel. Her fiancé Beau Wasmer expired at Marietta Memorial Hospital from his injuries. Autopsies are all pending.
The alleged reason remains unclear.
The sheriff stated both men were taken using a firearm. It is uncertain if there was a nail gun in the first place or if this detail had been composed, as stated by the law enforcement officer’s narrative.
Hillary Dennison has been arraigned in the Wood County Magistrate Court on Monday.
Records seen by Law&Crime reveal the defendant stays at the North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility without bail because of Monday. The regional public defender’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. No additional court date has been scheduled.
