Carthage, N.C. — Moore County authorities charged a Carthage man Monday with shooting and killing his wife, an assistant principal at Pinecrest High School.

Deputies received a report of a shooting Sunday at 333 Baughn Trail. When they arrived at the residence, they found Abigail "Abby" Alexander Baughn, 36, dead from a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said.

me neither...I just knew I shouldn't have started my day out with this thread..this is so sad!
I just wonder if the husband is another one of those who has the GF and the desire for a "new" life issues...
