A woman who saw her former husband shot following an argument about another man’s barking dog disputes the shooter’s claim it was self-defense.
Willard “Ross” Brymer, 38, remained in critical condition Friday in Washoe Medical Center after he was shot Wednesday night in Huffaker Park following an altercation with dog owner Kevin Kramer, 51.
Brymer’s former wife, Dena Carter, of Reno, was with Brymer, eating fast food in the grass.
Carter said Kramer shot Brymer because Brymer yelled at his dog to get away from them.
She said Brymer did not strike Kramer and said Kramer’s injuries — which required stitches — were self-inflicted.
“(Kramer) freaked out and said, ‘What are you saying to my dog, you punk,’” Carter recounted Friday.
“He was mad and pulled out his gun and shot him. ”
Kramer had an unlisted number and could not be reached for comment.
Carter added it was a large unleashed dog that attacked Brymer, who told it “shoo” and “get away.” Kramer said his cocker spaniel, Harley, is the one that barked at Brymer.
“I still feel the blood on my hands and can hear him (Brymer) calling me for help,” Carter said. “I picture him rolling off my car with his intestines spilling out. I want so badly to help him, but there’s nothing I can do.”
Kramer, of Reno, could not be reached for comment Friday about Carter’s account of the events. He said in an interview on Thursday that he feared for his life when he shot Brymer in the chest.
He said the shooting occurred after Brymer sprinted toward him and battered him. Kramer said prior to the attack, he had shown Brymer his gun and told him to leave, which prompted Brymer to say “shoot me.”
Lt. Ron Donnelly of Reno police said detectives are aware that Carter’s version of events differs from Kramer’s. Detectives are also looking for more witnesses to sort out what happened.
Donnelly said evidence points to Kramer being struck in the incident but stressed the investigation is not complete.
Carter described Brymer as a religious man, with five children, who is employed as an iron worker.
She said he dreamed of building structures in Iraq and New York City.
Brymer’s criminal history ranges from arrests for battery with a deadly weapon and possessing stolen property to a prison term for possessing drugs.
