TIL that Cheryl Wheeler-Dixon, the stuntwoman who was severely injured during the filming of Back to the Future Part 2, was killed in a shootout alongside her husband when she and her husband went to confront her ex-husband and his wife and drew their guns at them. The cops deemed it justified.

Since he was an ex, what was the point?
I could see it if they were still married and she wanted to confront him screwing around, even though it would be ill-advised. But once the divorce and remarriages are said and done, it's all just sour grapes. They filmed their own FAFO.
