Assisting the sheriff’s office at the scene were Van Buren Emergency Medical Ser-vices (VBEMS) and Van Buren County CID.
One thing is hard for people to understand is that once that bullit leaves the chamber, you can’t take it back. Now he’s dead, and she will probably be in prison for the rest of her life!! No bad deed goes unpunished.
