Hurt, VA - The Medical Examiner has ruled the shooting in Hurt Tuesday a murder-suicide. By all indications, when Norma Henley took out the trash at work, David Pippin was waiting.

The autopsy results reinforce what investigators believed- that Pippin shot and killed Henley, who was his ex-girlfriend, then killed himself.

It happened on Tuesday behind the G&S Market, between noon and 1:00 p.m. We don't know why he did it. We do know Pippin was recently released from prison. The owner of the G&S Market tells us Henley was a model employee- hardworking and honest.
Neighbors say Henley was the best kind of neighbor and will be missed terribly.

"I always remember her blowing the horn at me every morning, I get up and talk to her. She would wave at me. I go to the store where she worked there, still the same person, nothing changed ever. So I really don't know why the tragedy happened,” neighbor Walter Bland said.

Funeral arrangements for Norma Farmer Henley:

  • All services open to the public
  • Visitation: Colbert-Moran Funeral Home in Gretna on Thursday, June 4 from 7:00-8:30 p.m.
  • Funeral: at Colbert-Moran Chapel in Gretna on Friday, June 5 at 2:00 p.m.

Funeral arrangements for David King Pippin:

  • Service open to the public
  • Funeral: graveside service at Gretna Burial Park on Friday, June 5 at 11:00 a.m.
