  • Saturday, September 15, 2018

A Crossville man has been charged with shooting and killing his wife and a man she was with.

The TBI said 74-year-old Warren Nostrum afterward shot himself, but he was treated and released from a hospital.

Nostrum was charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

A joint investigation by Special Agents with the TBI, the Crossville Police Department, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, and the office of the 13th District Attorney General resulted in the arrest from the double homicide that occurred Friday afternoon.

On Friday, at the request of 13th District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway, TBI special agents joined the investigation into the deaths of two people found at the Cumberland County School Bus Garage located along Genesis Road. Just before 2:30 p.m., officers with the Crossville Police Department responded to a reported shooting at that location and found the bodies of Joy J. Nostrom, 58, and Mark Gunter, 54.

Warren Nostrom was booked into the Cumberland County Jail on a $4 million bond. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
