The UK’s Independent also reported the story with this headline, “After a lifetime courting tragedy, country star Mindy McCready ‘shot family dog before committing suicide on porch where boyfriend killed himself'”
McCready, 37, committed suicide Sunday by shooting her dog and then herself, a sheriff’s spokesman in Arkansas confirmed today. The dog belonged to David Wilson, McCready’s late boyfriend, also a victim of suicide. He shot himself last month.
