SYLVA, N.C. (AP) -- A man accused of pushing his way into a domestic violence shelter in North Carolina and killing his estranged wife is being sought Thursday by authorities who believe he fled in a stolen car and may be in Tennessee.
John Raymond Woodring is accused of shooting 48-year-old Bonnie Woodring to death Monday night.
Sylva police Chief Jeff Jamison says Woodring already was wanted on domestic violence charges for allegedly trying to strangle his wife.
Bonnie Woodring had moved to the shelter after the strangulation attempt.
Police say her husband pushed past an employee leaving for the night and gunned his wife down in the kitchen using a shotgun.
Sylva is in Jackson County, North Carolina. That's in the southwest tip of the state, near the Tennessee border.
