Woman jailed after police say brother is shot

A McAlester woman remained in the Pittsburg County Jail this morning, accused of shooting her brother in the chest.

Police arrested Pamela Reynolds, 37, of McAlester, Wednesday night on an initial complaint of shooting with intent to kill, said McAlester Police Det. Capt. Don Hass.

Her brother, Leroy Daniels, 31, of Atoka, was reported in stable condition this morning with a gunshot wound to the chest at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, Hass said.

Police received a report at 10:08 p.m. on Wednesday of a shooting at Reynolds’ residence at 825 N. Second St., Hass said. He said Reynolds reported the shooting.

McAlester police patrolmen Loyd London, Chris Troussel and Robert Young responded to the call.

London arrived first at the scene, Hass said.

“He found Pamela Reynolds standing on the front porch,” Hass said.

Daniels was lying on the living room floor, moaning, he said.

“She shot him in the chest with a .45 automatic,” Hass said of the allegations against Reynolds.

An ambulance had rushed to the scene, along with police, Hass said.

Police arrested Reynolds without resistance, he said. Reynolds was not holding the gun when police arrived.

“She had called them and was waiting on them,” Hass said.

Police found the gun believed to be used in the shooting lying on an air conditioner, he said.

McAlester police expect to submit a report today to District 18 District Attorney Jim Miller’s office, according to Hass.
