Deadly Car Talk

"OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — An Edmond attorney was killed by her ex-husband, whom she had filed a protective order against, in a murder suicide Tuesday in Oklahoma City, police said.

"Freda J. Cross, 58, was found shot to death about 6:15 p.m. in a car parked in front of an empty convenience store at N Western Avenue and NW 26. Her ex-husband Michael J. McCreary, 61, also was found shot to death in a car parked next to hers. The cars were parked with drivers' side windows facing each other.

"Oklahoma City Police in a statement released this morning said investigators think Cross pulled into the parking lot first, to meet McCreary, who arrived a few minutes later. Each remained in their own cars. The two argued briefly before McCreary pulled out a pistol and shot Cross to death. McCreary then turned the gun on himself. There were no other people involved in the incident.

"The couple's divorce was final in January, according to online Oklahoma Supreme Court Network records."
