Walter S. Terhune, 68, of Inglis, Florida, was shot and killed on October 1, 2015, after running to help during a violent domestic confrontation across from City Hall. Terhune, a decorated war veteran, had been withdrawing money from an ATM when he heard gunfire and saw children nearby; he moved toward the scene and was pronounced dead at the location after being shot.
The shooter has been identified as 57-year-old Walter A. Tyson. Patricia Tyson was found inside the home with a gunshot wound to the head and was dead; Otis Bean suffered critical injuries and was airlifted to a hospital. Walter Tyson then died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound as law enforcement surrounded the residence. Investigators concluded the incident began as a domestic dispute and that Terhune was an innocent bystander killed while attempting to intervene.
Did anyone in Inglis know Walter Terhune or witness what happened that day and have information to share?
