I heard the story last night, about the son & the baseball bat & the father hiding out in a hotel with the son while the police were searching for the son.
None of which means that there were or were not other incidences. But given this much violence, it doesn’t seem likely it was a one off.
She also claimed she was a victim (which she was, though maybe not of her husband. Or, we don’t have their entire story. The police aren’t called for everything, I’m sure). Family brawls seems to cover it.
It would appear she hit him. At least this time. But who knows what he may have done first. Shoved her? “Both Shanahan and his wife, who now goes by Kimberley Jordinson, claimed they were hit by the other.”
I haven’t seen the police report. Charges were filed against her, he said. I’m going to assume that’s correct, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t lay a hand on her.
