Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a home on North Highway 27 in Eubank after receiving a report from an individual claiming their mother-in-law and father-in-law were unresponsive inside the home. The sheriff’s office said Doris Brock, 67, was pronounced dead on scene from a gunshot wound and James Brock, 78, was unresponsive but breathing.
