Madison, the last week of July, 1962 Close Close
The sad saga of the disgraced former Madison police chief Bruce Weatherly comes to a tragic end on Wednesday July 25 when his wife, Inez, shoots him in the stomach with his own .38 caliber revolver at their home in his native San Antonio, Texas. “I just shot your daddy,” Mrs. Weatherly tells her daughter as she comes downstairs to call police before driving across town to her mother’s house, where she was arrested. Weatherly, 49, dies about an hour later. Mrs. Weatherly, 43, tells investigators she did it because Weatherly had been drinking heavily and was “sick, sick, sick. I couldn’t stand it any longer,” she says, “God forgive me.”
