Man Guns Down Ex During Custody Exchange at Wawa, Police Say

Three years after threatening to kill her, a father followed through and used a military-style rifle to gun down his ex-wife during a scheduled custody exchange inside a popular store in Delaware County, officials said.

Brian Kennedy, 34, faces first and third-degree murder, criminal homicide and related charges after he walked into a Radnor Township Wawa store and used an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle to kill his 37-year-old ex-wife while others were inside, Delaware County District Attorney Katayoun Copeland said. Police initially said the victim was in her 20s.

According to an affidavit of probable cause, the victim was Stephanie Miller; Kennedy shot her "at point blank range" in the head and stomach.

"This is a classic case of what can happen in situations regarding domestic abuse and violence and the use of firearms," Copeland said.

Would you say the same thing if he used a pipe or his hands? Remember HE killed his wife NOT the firearm.

 

[weekendracer]

Well, they did at least say semi-automatic rifle, not super killy machine gun.

A part of me is thinking that's on purpose...*tin foil*

Do you really think anyone’s going to make that distinction? We’re surrounded by asshats. ZOMG GUNZ!!!!kittens MORE GUNZ!!!!

 

[afeid]

I bet this would have barely made the news if he had walked in and strangled her…

 

[SSShooter]

If only they had met in a gun free zone for the custody exchange...

Yes. You, me and everyone here.

She would be a different kind of dead if he used a shotgun ?

It was an AR, so the Twenty-Six Sandy Hook Angels personally descended and escorted her to the Pearly Gates.

Were it a blade, it would have been the ghost of Freddie Prinze or some such.

 

[Lokdog]

I hate to be a smart ass but I bet she would've been happy at 37 to be thought that she was in her twenties

 

[citoriguy]

Yes. You, me and everyone here.

Well, yes. That was implied.

 

[wahsben]

If she had been armed and shot him we'd probably have heard nothing about it.They're pushing more gun control on rifles so how convenient that he chooses to use an AR instead of something more easily concealed.

Isn't a Sharpes Rifle a "military style rifle" as well, from about 150 years ago?

This.
If it was the rifle's fault, it would be the rifle that is being held for first and third-degree murder, criminal homicide and related charges...

That said... RIP lady.

 

[not new guy]

Timing isn’t helpful for ERPO.

A Kentucky Long Rifle is a military style rifle too.

A LEO gunned down his ex/wife in traffic a while back and yet cops still have guns?
Im tired of the shifting of blame. People destined to kill will do so by the easiest means.

 

[MAGA99]

What an a**h***

It might be considered a military arm since it was used in a battle but I don't think it can be classified as a rifle.

 

[Chevy 2 65]

so is,
