Ex-wife pinpoints cause of her boyfriend's death during testimony

BURKE COUNTY, N.C. — The ex-wife of a Burke County man on trial for murder was back on the stand Friday.

She said he dragged her into the house and then shot and killed her boyfriend, Thurman Hudson.

Buchanan is claiming self-defense.
