Wallace Truman Edge, 75, and Pamela Cook, 40, died from gunshot wounds at a house on McNatt Falls Road in Toombs County, Georgia. Deputies got the call around 2:19 p.m. on Monday, October 19. Three people had been shot inside the place at 188 McNatt Falls Road.
Deputies walked in and found Wallace and Pamela already gone. Both took fatal shots. Diane Cook, 55, sat inside with a gunshot wound of her own. Doctors called it non-life-threatening. She made it out alive while the other two did not.
Grace Edge, 76, Wallace’s former wife, drew the focus right away. Officers arrested her and locked her up at the Toombs County Detention Center. She faces two counts of felony murder, two counts of malice murder, and three counts of aggravated assault.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation stepped in to help sort out what went down that afternoon. No one else in the area faces any threat, according to the sheriff’s office. The case now sits with the courts and a first appearance hearing still ahead.
Wallace had lived 75 years full of the usual ups and downs that come with a long life. Pamela was just 40. Both left people behind who now have to figure out the days without them. Diane is healing from her wound and dealing with whatever comes next.
Families in Toombs County are left with the sudden hole this shooting punched in their lives. Two people will not come home. One woman recovers while the legal side moves forward.
Grace Edge remains in custody while investigators keep working the details of that Monday call.
