Sequoyah County, Oklahoma

From July 22, 2005 Sequoyah County Times:

A domestic dispute Tuesday night led to the shooting of a Sequoyah County man, who was listed in serious condition Thursday night.

Sequoyah County Sheriff Johnny Philpot said the shooting was the result of a domestic dispute that carried over to a neighbor's home two and a half miles southwest of Redland Road near Muldrow.

Bradley Plank, 34, was shot in the collarbone area with a 9 mm handgun.

Philpot said Plank and his girlfriend, who lived together with the woman's two children, got into an argument, and Plank began physically assaulting her. From the information the sheriff's office has received, Plank had allegedly assaulted the woman, whose name is not being revealed to protect her identity, on previous occasions. Philpot said the woman never reported the past incidents to police.

When the woman went next door to the home of Chris Plank, Bradley Plank's cousin, Bradley Plank allegedly followed her and also began assaulting Chris Plank.

Chris Plank and Bradley Plank's girlfriend fled to call police at the home of another neighbor, James Newton, who lived across the street. Philpot said Bradley Plank allegedly kicked in the door to Newton's home and began assaulting Newton and Chris Plank before Chris Plank got Newton's gun and shot Bradley Plank one time.
