A Virginia man faces multiple murder charges in the aftermath of a shooting that left a former girlfriend and another woman dead at a Virginia residence Sunday afternoon.
Robert D. Harris, 71, of Virginia was formally charged Tuesday with six counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder and one count of aggravated battery with a firearm in Cass County court.
Harris, who is being held in the Morgan County Jail in Jacksonville because Cass County does not have a jail, appeared before the county s resident judge, Timothy J. Wessel, in person.
The victims, Kathleen G. Wzientek, 68, and Brenda G. Crum, 64, both of Virginia, were found dead in Wzientek s residence in the 100 block of South East Street.
