Mississippi Woman Charged with Husband's Murder

Tanya Lindell Saucier has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting her estranged husband, James Ray Saucier, outside the Pearl River County Chancery Courthouse in Mississippi, following their divorce proceedings. The incident occurred shortly after noon when Tanya reportedly waited for James to exit the courthouse before opening fire, resulting in his death shortly thereafter. Witnesses, including James's attorney, condemned the act as unjustifiable, emphasizing that there is no excuse for such violence in a public setting. This tragic event is particularly striking given that James had been indicted for domestic violence against Tanya just months prior, with a trial scheduled for March. The Pearl River County Sheriff's Office is coordinating with the District Attorney's office to pursue charges against Tanya, who is currently in custody. Family members expressed their shock and confusion over the incident, highlighting the emotional toll on both sides of the family.
