A divorce settlement hearing ended in a fatal shooting outside a Mississippi courthouse Tuesday, when a victim of domestic violence allegedly shot her estranged husband.
49-year-old Tanya Saucier, a retired military veteran and nurse, had filed for divorce in December 2023, months after her husband James Saucier was indicted for allegedly shooting her in the head and chest during a domestic altercation. 62-year-old James, who was scheduled to stand trial in March 2025 for aggravated domestic violence, claimed the shooting was in self-defense.
