The victim of a shooting in Osage County last week has died from their injuries, Osage County Sheriff Michael Bonham confirmed in an email on Monday to ABC 17 News.

Bonham wrote that Paula Scheppers, 76, died at 8:27 p.m. Sunday. Previous reporting shows a woman was flown to a hospital, and another person was found dead after a shooting on Friday morning. One of the people was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, the sheriff’s office said last week.

Scheppers was reportedly shot once.

Lawrence David Scheppers, 77, was identified as the shooter in a Saturday press release.

Previous reporting shows a press release from the Osage County Sheriff's office at around 9:15 a.m. Friday stated law enforcement was called to County Road 623 after receiving a call that Lawrence Scheppers shot Paula Scheppers in their home.
