Body Shop Bloodbath


"ADDISON, AL — Family members and residents of Addison are still reeling from news of a domestic murder-suicide Monday that also left a third man hospitalized.

"In a single tragic afternoon, members of the Anders family lost two of their own, and their vigil over a third surviving family member continues as he recovers from surgery to treat triple gunshot wounds.

"According to multiple family members’ reports, Hoyt Anders and his son Kerry were working at the Anders Body Shop on highway 41 in Addison Monday afternoon when Hoyt’s brother, Mark Anders, allegedly burst into the business with a .22 rifle and began shooting.

"Winston County coroner Larry Gilliland said Hoyt Anders died from numerous gunshot wounds. Kerry Anders, who survived, was shot three times, according to family members.

"Mark Anders then allegedly took his own life with the murder weapon.

"Gilliland pronounced both Hoyt, 55, and Mark, 48, dead at the scene Monday at 3:15 p.m. - only 22 minutes after a Winston County deputy was first notified of the crime."
