'I thought it was a gun,' Oak Brook murder defendant says

February 24, 2012

Jerry Hudson thought his ex-wife was reaching for a gun when he shot her six times outside an Oak Brook hotel, he testified Friday. "I closed my eyes and squeezed the trigger," he said. "I had no intentions of killing her. I was defending myself." The shooting on New Year's Day 2010 happened after Hudson tracked down 45-year-old Melissa Bridgewater at a Doubletree Hotel.
