We have to evacuate," another caller told a 911 operator."She's laying dead next to a van," one caller told a responder."Where's the gun?" asked the 911 operator. "I can't see, there are people all around the body," the last caller told the operator.Patricia Williams was pronounced dead at an area hospital immediately following the shooting.Edward Williams was on life support for most of the day but police confirmed his death late in the afternoon.The couple lived in Canton and were caretakers for Patricia Williams’ young child from a previous marriage to a Westland police officer.The Canton Public Library is closed for the day.
