CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Police were searching Sunday for a National Guardsman with sniper training who they suspect shot his wife to death while she sang with a band in a restaurant and bar.
Robin Munis was shot in the head just after midnight Saturday as she sang with the classic rock and country group Ty and the Twisters. Customers of the Old Chicago ran - to a bathroom, a walk-in refrigerator and anywhere else they could find cover - as a black pickup truck drove slowly out of the parking lot, then sped away.
"At first we thought it was just a speaker blowing up or something. I looked over and saw her on the floor," said Travis Brooks, who had been sitting at the bar.
Brooks said he wasn't sure where the gunshot came from when he saw the glass door break. He and others crawled toward the kitchen and took cover in a small bathroom ...

Now, children, Wyoming is the most gun-possessed state in the U.S. It IS "the Wild-Wild West." My God, hombres, Cheyenne and Wymoing are the very guts and glory of cowboy country. This is Clint Eastwood's wonderful world of shoot-em-up. This is where they made "Unforgiven" for God's sake, and "High PLains Drifter!" I've had a beer in a Cheyenne bar, and it was just full of sun-bitten, hard-drinkin', shit-kickin' types. You mean they're all fakes?

What kind of image does it convey to have the patrons of a wild western bar crawling for the kitchen like a bunch of sheep herders while a single shooter with a little-ol' popgun plugs a poor harmless lady and then just rides out of town? What would John Wayne have done? He must be just heaving around in his grave.

No one rose from the barstools and drew his Colt 45 and plugged the desperado. No one leapt on a horse and chased after him. No one organized a posse. They just let that coyote go! While they crawled into the women's john.

Where the hell was the NRA? They're never there when you need, em.

This is a shame that Wyoming will never live down.
