Police believe that Palmer shot his son's wife Tammy Palmer, 39, on Monday. Tammy and John Palmer, who separated this year, have two children and lived together in a home on Eugene Palmer's sprawling property. Tammy and Eugene frequently argued, NBC New York reported.
Hes very coldhearted, John Pannirello, Tammy Palmers father, said to The New York Times. The detective says he wont be surprised if something goes on between us and him, if he has guns with him. I just have a bad, bad feeling.
