A 79-year-old McCook woman has been charged with first-degree murder and a gun charge for allegedly shooting her husband in the chest as he slept.

Lavetta Langdon was in court Thursday, a week after Larry Langdon's death, and a Red Willow County judge set her bond at $5 million, according to court records.

Mrs. Langdon stated that her husband punched her face several times...

She warned her husband that she will kill him if he kept on hitting her...

She claimed that she was a victim of his physical abuse for last thirty years...

They were married in 1960...Divorced in 2012...But, then they decided to get married again...

A 78 year old guy hitting his 79 year old wife?

The husband is 78 years old and he still physically abuses his wife? Shouldn't he know better than behave like that?

A sad story...Why didn't she divorce him again? Why put put up with abuse?

Actually the husband was 78 years old and his wife said he was abusing her. Unless there is a paper trail of police calls and arrests to back up her story she'll be charged with murder and they will take her story with a big bag of salt.

HAHA! I’d only tell this story to Freepers, but it is true. I divorced and remarried my hubby too. And I will NOT let him buy a gun because I always tell him: I’ll shoot you with it.

During these times of recent unrest we’ve discussed this issue. He proposed getting a shotgun. He said: you’ll never get me with the shotgun, not if we keep it locked up, unloaded, and the ammo in a separated locker. I’ll be able to stop you before you get all that together to shoot me.

We feel like we do need a weapon of self-defense in the house because communists.

But, then, he really aggravated me the the other day and I said: shotgun’s out!

In case anyone was wondering, the article does not give any reason for the very high bail assignment.

Post 1 in the thread pretty much covers it. There’s a minor nuance in that the detective said the woman was abused for 30 years, but it doesn’t indicate whether is source is 30 years of police reports or the woman’s unsupported statement.

Up to 1/4 of divorced couples reconnect some to remarry others to remain together.

“...shotgun’s out...” Ha! On Perry Mason, the typical State Exhibit A, is a common household item like a fireplace poker. Better get some sort of gun to fend off commies and thugs and assign a bike chain for hitting hubby.

I’ve heard of shotgun marriages before, but none quite like yours...

It’s ridiculous that they gave her $5 MILLION dollars bond when other thugs are given an appearance ticket and released back on the street the same day.

So he punched her in the face but her mug shot doesn't show any bruises or black eyes. Right.🙄

Just release her. Saves money in medical bills when his time comes.
