TYLER, Texas (AP) — The wife of Tyler’s police chief is
free on bond today, after she was accused of shooting her
husband to death Sunday evening.
Ronnie S. Malloch, 41, was pronounced dead at Medical
Center Hospital in Tyler of multiple gunshot wounds.
Carolyn Malloch was released after her father posted $5,000
bond shortly before midnight. Justice of the Peace H.M. Shel-
ton said she was charged with murder.
Four shots from a .38-caliber revolver were fired in a living
room-kitchen area of the couple's south Tyler residence,
Shelton said. Malloch was hit at least three times in the chest,
back and groin, according to Shelton, who ordered an autop-
sy.
Neighbors on either side of the Malloch residence said they
were unaware of the disturbance until ambulances pulled up
to the Malloch home.
The Mallochs had two daughters, ages eight and five.
