FULL TITLE: Moms meet for Wild West-style armed duel to settle a school bus skirmish between their daughters in confrontation that left one dead and the other charged with murder
Two mothers’ text message argument over a schoolbus fight between their daughters escalated into a Wild West-style duel and only one woman walked away alive. Deadly duel: Judith Kowaleski is charged with murdering Elizabeth Slagle in a deadly duel that stemmed from a school bus argument between the women's daughters
Judith Kowaleski, 42, told police a fight began between herself and Elizabeth Slagle on Thursday evening.
Kowaleski said it stemmed from an earlier argument that occurred between the two women’s daughters as they rode the bus home from school.
WVVA reports that text messages and phone calls between Kowaleski, Slagle, and Kowaleski’s aunt identified as Barbra Harrington.
At one point, according to the police report, Kowaleski gave the phone to Harrington, who continued the exchange with Slagle.
Though police are still awaiting a warrant in order to read the messages, something was said that took the argument to a far more dangerous level.
Harrington suddenly told Kowaleski she was to meet Slagle at a designated point somewhere between their Bluefield, West Virginia homes.
She also told Kowaleski to arm herself.
She did as she was told and grabbed a handgun.

One of the UK’s contributions to gun control in the USA and a way of distracting UK residents from their own sky-high, per-capita violent crime rates.
>> left one dead...
At least the right one survived.

Oh ben post both their pics why don’t you? They both look like they come from up the holler in the trailer park. I hate to say this but this is how people from up the holler solve problems, they beat each other up.
LOL
I’d say she is looking a bit down in the mouth....
Damn, she’s too ugly to have ever committed the dead that produced a child.

Did honey boo boo survive?
Maybe in “up the holler” but after 14 years of life in my mobile home park (74 homes) I know of not one single incident of physical violence between residents.
sounds like self-defense
It all depends where your mobile home is located dude! You never want to put it up a holler, trust me!
West Virginia - one million people and maybe 15 last names.
She looks like the prettier of the two ...
