Vernon Sheriff's Office: 2 women ‘stable’ after shooting

Both women involved in last week’s shooting in the Leesville area are in stable condition, but still are undergoing medical treatment, according to the Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Charges still are pending against Joanne Link, 68, after she allegedly shot her 53-year-old neighbor, Pamela Stanley, outside the victim’s Cable Loop home on Lake Vernon early on Wednesday.

Stanley was found in her yard by responding Vernon Parish Sheriff’s deputies. After she told them that Link had shot her, deputies and detectives began searching for the older woman. She was found inside Stanley’s home, suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Divers later retrieved a gun believed to have been used to shoot Stanley from the lake, according to the sheriff’s office.

A motive for the shooting still is unknown.
