May 7, 2014 OXFORD — Scott Gellatly's breakup with his second wife, Lori, was hardly a secret among family and friends. Before he fatally shot her and seriously wounded her mother at his in-laws' Oxford home Wednesday morning, police said, Gellatly described the end of his marriage in candid and desperate posts on Facebook, the same social media site where years before he gleefully posted photos of his wedding proposal to Lori at sunset in Key West, Fla., and announced the birth of the couple's twins. Never, they said, did they think that the marital discord would result in Gellatly's being charged with his wife's slaying, the sixth domestic homicide of the year in Connecticut, which touched off a six-hour police manhunt up and down the East Coast and school and office lockdowns throughout the state.

May 5, 2014 shooting  Attorney: 'Hillbilly hell,' not deer feeding, led to New Brighton shooting ... Minneapolis Star Tribune  The May 2014 shooting occurred after Damerow-Cleven ran into the Zumberges' son, Jacob, at a restaurant. She called police on the son, who was wanted for a previous incident in which he allegedly threatened to kill Damerow-Cleven and Stevens. Neal Zumberge didn’t shoot and kill his New Brighton neighbor last year over the man’s long-standing habit of feeding deer. Rather, Zumberge’s attorney said Wednesday, he shot Todd Stevens because of the “hillbilly hell” his family endured for years living across the street from Stevens, an inveterate drinker who fought with his father and the entire Zumberge family. Zumberge, 58, acted in self-defense and in defense of his wife, Paula Zumberge, when he fired a 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun at Stevens and Damerow-Cleven from his yard across the street on May 5, 2014.
