[Excerpts] A retired Memphis Police officer was killed and his wife injured after a double shooting at their home Friday. The woman found shot in her home, 51-year-old Regina Daniel, told family members that her husband, 63-year-old Troy Daniel, was responsible. She said her husband then turned the gun on himself. Troy Daniel was a 23-year veteran of the Memphis Police Department. Action News 5 reporter Justin Hanson is a family member of Regina Daniel. Hanson said Regina Daniel was alert Saturday and remembers everything that happened... "Apparently, shot her in the neck and she put her hand up and it got her hand and elbow. The bullet that went in the neck ricocheted into her torso, causing her lung to collapse, I think." Hanson said she and her husband were in an argument Friday afternoon at their home on Walsh Road near Shelby Forest. "He walked in with some kind of rage and look in his eye, and pulled out a gun and shot her," said Hanson. She told family members that Troy Daniel shot her three times. She said she then ran into a bedroom and heard two more shots... The two were married for 12 years... Hanson said Troy Daniel suffered a stroke that nearly killed him a couple of years ago. His only daughter died several years ago... Hanson said a bullet is still lodged near Regina Daniel's lung, making it difficult for her to breathe. "She blessed," he said. "Lucky to be alive"... A [Shelby County Sheriff's Department] spokesperson said the case is still under investigation. [Full article here]

    I worked with Troy for a while but not on an everyday basis. He was always a nice man. It is hard to think he would do that. I guess a stroke can cause a lot of changes to a person. May God comfort all those affected by this tragedy...
