Cops Listen As Shots Fired
"COTTONWOOD, CA - A Cottonwood couple is dead after a domestic disturbance Sunday evening in the 17000 block of Billy Jack Lane.
"According to TCSD logs, Pamela Ann Vannoy, 51, called the Tehama County Sheriff's Department at 7:55 p.m. to report her husband, John Calvin Vannoy, 53, was at their residence trying to harm her.
"While Pamela Vannoy was on the phone with the department, John Vannoy took the phone away from her and shots were fired.
"`We had the male half on the phone saying he shot his wife and then more shots were fired`, said Sheriff Clay Parker.
"The SWAT team was called out to the incident at 8:32 p.m. to ensure that the residence could be entered safely, Parker said.

I knew JC when I was in high school. I never would have thought something like this would ever happen. He was easy going and very likeable. So sad to hear. You wonder how someone's life could end up like this. My sympathies to his wife's family.
