Woman Shot, Killed After Changing Facebook Status


Police in Maysville, NC believe the change to a woman's Facebook relationship status may have been what led a former boyfriend to murder her last weekend.

Karen Ann Rooney, 63, was shot twice in the upper torso while she lay on a loveseat in her home. Her ex-boyfriend, Peter Terrance Moonan, 62, then shot himself in the head with a .357-caliber handgun.

“She had recently changed her status to engaged,” said Onslow County Sheriff’s Maj. Donnie Worrell. He said investigators couldn’t find any motive other than the new relationship, and family did not have any other explanations.

Karen has recently began dating another man (they're pictured, above). She and Peter dated for 16 years before breaking up last February. Peter's family said they knew he was depressed, but not to the extent he would be dangerous.
