Tennessee Will Dispute Sparks Fatal Shooting in Johnson City
John Goodin, 81, a local lawyer, was killed along with an insurance agent when Walter Shell shot them at Goodin’s office after disputing a will. Shell faces murder charges and is held without bail. The case centers on an omitted word in a will that altered a $100,000 stock share and subsequent estate distributions. The daughters challenged the revised will, and a judge ruled in their favor, awarding the stock to the daughters after legal costs.
