GRAPHIC=Fatal Shooting A domestic situation turns deadly

in Grayson County.

The sheriff says officers were called
to a home on Rockbridge Road shortly
after seven last night.

When they arrived, they said they
found Patricia Gravley had shot and
killed her husband, Joseph Gravley
Junior.

There were children asleep in the
house at the time of the shooting. They
were not hurt.

Officers took them next door to
their grandmother's house. Grayson
County authorities are still
investigating, and say they're not yet
sure whether charges will be filed.
