Altum called 911 around 1:45 a.m. on Dec. 15, 2023, after using a .22-caliber revolver to shoot 74-year-old Peggy Sue Altum as she lay in bed at the couple’s home, in the 2000 block of Terrace Drive. Police who responded were met by Altum, who left the house with his hands up and replied “no” when officers asked if everyone inside was OK.
