The shooting was done with a .32-caliber revolver. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict that Shoemaker and the girl died as results of revolver wounds inflicted by Mrs. Shoemaker.. After the shooting Shoemaker staggered into the yard and fell dead. The girl, who was shot through the stomach, lived about half an hour. Immediately after the shooting the town marshal took Mrs. Shoemaker into custody and notified the County Sheriff and Coroner at Mountain Home.
