EDMOND, OK — A former lieutenant with the Edmond Police Department has been charged with first degree manslaughter.

The argument escalated and Sean approached Jennifer in an aggressive manner.
Haddock’s mother says after Sean backed Jennifer up against a wall, Jennifer pulled out her .40 caliber handgun, pointed it at Sean and told him to “back up” several times; even saying Sean grabbed Jennifer’s gun and told her to shoot him.
They separated once more before the trigger was pulled.
Despite Jennifer performing first aid, Sean Haddock would die from his injuries. Jennifer Haddock has been charged with first degree manslaughter. Her bond is currently set at $25,000.
