 A woman recalled maneuvering the vehicle her husband was driving after he was shot during testimony at a preliminary hearing for a Texas man accused of killing him and another person while randomly firing his gun along an Oklahoma interstate.

Jeremy Doss Hardy is charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shootings of 45-year-old Jeffery Kent Powell of Arapaho and 63-year-old Billie Jean West of Lone Wolf.

The preliminary hearing was Thursday. A judge will determine if there's sufficient evidence for a trial to be held.

The Oklahoman reports Tamara Powell described having to reach over and put the pickup truck in park as her husband slumped over the seat Dec. 16, 2015.

Prosecutors say Hardy sped through three counties while firing from his vehicle along Interstate 40, west of Oklahoma City, and hit at least four vehicles.
