According to police, Fuller's two sons, ages 11 and 13 discovered the body Tuesday morning. They rode their bikes to a friend of their mothers, who called the police. The children told police their mother and father, Rodney Fuller, had been arguing most of the night on Monday. Police say Mr. Fuller left the residence at one point and returned later that night. According to police, the following morning Mr. Fuller left for work as a paramedic, and told his children not to go to school.
Police say a short time later, they found their mother dead.
Liberty County Sheriff's Department tell us Mr. Fuller returned to his residence shortly after the body was found, and police had arrived. They took him to the station and later charged him with the murder. Chief Deputy Keith Moran says they found the .45 callibre gun used in the shooting inside Fullers truck. The incident report states Fuller confessed to shooting his wife Monday night after an argument. Prior to this incident, police say there was no history of abuse, but the incident report alledges that Fuller may have been a crack user.
