What happened to Wendy after the shooting incident and how did her family respond?
Unfortunately, Wendy took her own life approximately one year after the shooting. Following this tragedy, her daughter Adrienne spoke to the media, stating that her family places blame on the shooter not only for the initial attack but for Wendy's death as well. Surveillance footage released by the Plaster County Sheriff's office captured video from outside the home showing a masked man moving up the Spores' driveway on the day of the incident. This evidence appears to be central to the investigation of the attack that ultimately led to these tragic consequences.
