“(She) was in fear for her life when she used deadly force to repel the attack,” Phillabaum said
He said Shearer was chased outside the home by Tony Shearer, 45, and she couldn’t “escape” because his van was blocking her Nissan Altima that was parked in the driveway.
When the couple went back inside around 8:30 p.m. Monday, Dawn Shearer, a licensed CCW owner, shot her ex-husband in the living room, police said.
