After confronting Hurst, Suber pulled out a gun and shot her in the hand and chest as she attempted to back away, all the while pleading for her life. He also opened fire on May, who was struck in the foot as he escaped into the cornfield. Suber then returned to Hurst and beat her to death with a tire iron.
