The night before she was shot, Crystal Brame left a long message for her psychologist telling him she was "afraid for her safety, now more than ever," according to a Gig Harbor police investigation released Monday.
As word spread about his divorce, Tacoma Police Chief David Brame received encouragement from two members of his department and a retired police officer he didn't know.
City officials discussed concerns about Tacoma Police Chief David Brame as early as two days before he fatally shot his wife and himself April 26.
Pierce County Sheriff's deputies found documents inside David Brame's Tacoma apartment that may be "pertinent" to an outside investigation into Brame's fatal shootings of his wife and himself.
Crystal Brame defied the odds for one week, somehow clinging to life despite expectations she wouldn't survive even one night.
Crystal Brame, 35, died Saturday afternoon, a week after her husband, Police Chief David Brame shot her.
They huddled around roses, snapdragons, carnations and lilies, and they prayed.
A funeral service for David Brame will be at 1 p.m. today at By His Word Christian Center, 10110 Aqueduct Drive E., Tacoma. Burial will follow at Mountain View Memorial Park.
Crystal Brame remained in serious condition Friday, representatives of her attorney and of Harborview Medical Center said.
