Deputies with the Pima County Sheriff's Office responded to reports of a shooting around 11 a.m. on Nov. 6 near Linda Vista Boulevard and Hartman Lane. When they got there, they ran into a man at the front door with a gun. After they gave him commands to surrender, 37-year-old Jonathan Hatmaker complied and was taken into custody. "Deputies entered the residence and located a female victim with obvious signs of trauma. The female identified as 66- year-old Peggy Hatmaker, succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased," the sheriff's office said. Through an investigation, Jonathan, Peggy's son, was named the suspect. He's accused of first-degree murder and was booked into jail. The events leading up to Peggy's death haven't been released. ___________________________________________________ Canadian Rounder If I find out where that one lives, I will feed it! ___________________________________________________ Ole and Lena lived on a lake in Northern Minnesota.
