Tragic, More NC: Wife Killed by Suspects Bullet, Wounded Suspect in Hospital

Police identified the slain woman as 34-year-old Pamela Crumpton Hooks. The couple’s children were home at the time of the shooting, police said, but they declined to say how many children were there or their ages.

“What we know is that we have a guy who is in the hospital, who went to the residence with at least one other person to commit a robbery,” said Capt. Nathaniel Davis of the Greensboro Police Department. “At some point the homeowner attempted to protect his family and retrieved his own gun.”

As the husband and the suspects shot at one another, one of the suspects’ bullets struck Hooks inside her house at 716 Hidden Lakes Court in Browns Summit, Davis said.
