Additional information has now been released regarding the domestic dispute which ended with one person being fatally shot over the weekend in Cherokee County.

At around 1:00pm Saturday, 9-1-1 Central Dispatch received a call from a man saying he’d shot his wife.  After arriving at the residence – on County Road 662 in the Round Mountain Community – officers found the body of 37 year old Christine Cunningham on the back deck of the home.

She had suffered a fatal gunshot wound – meanwhile her husband, 40 year old Daniel Cunningham, apparently suffered a stab wound during the incident; and WEIS Radio News has learned that two children were in the home, during the time that this was taking place.  Cherokee County Sheriff Jeff Shaver stated: “This tragic incident is very sad for the family.” 

According to Chief Deputy Josh Summerford the death is currently being investigated by the Cherokee County Major Crimes Task Force and the Coroner’s Office.  

At this time, no charges have been filed; but, according to Chief Deputy Summerford, the District Attorney’s Office WILL present the case to a Cherokee County Grand Jury for consideration.
