Woman, 46, Shot by Acquaintance at Davenport Tavern
Anna Belle Kirkman, 46, operator of the Columbia Tap tavern in Davenport, was hospitalized in critical condition with a bullet wound to the abdomen and a knee after a male acquaintance awoke her in her apartment. Detectives issued a warrant for Richard Fuqua, 40, who reportedly fled toward Chicago and possibly Florida. Kirkman said Fuqua held a pistol to her temple as he slept, and the weapon discharged twice when she kicked. Her son Robert Schick said they had known each other about a year.
