Rosini said Shurock asked Curran who his supervisor in Bernville was and said he planned to report his behavior.

The prosecutor said Curran turned toward his former wife and said, “I hope you’re happy now. I’m going to lose my job.”

About an hour later, Mrs. Curran was gunned down in the Shamokin Community Hospital parking lot as she walked into work.

She died about an hour later after being flown to Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, with massive blood loss from seven gunshot wounds to the neck, chest, leg and hand.

Curran was arrested on suspicion of murder about eight hours later at the Canadian border in Niagara Falls, N.Y.

In his vehicle was a 40-caliber gun issued to him by the Bernville police department, the same weapon later determined to have been used in Mrs. Curran’s slaying, Rosini said.

Also in the car were hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a second gun, knives, pepper spray and $2,600 in cash.

The prosecution case is expected to take three days. Testimony resumes this morning.
