On May 23, 2004, 48-year-old Michael Gunther shot 36-year-old Michael Zawodny 11 times at a carnival which was set up near Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Gunther’s murderous actions were the result of a jealous rage after he found out 45-year-old Sally Kennedy, an operator of the Blues Amusement Carnival with whom he shared a romantic relationship, was “sleeping with” other men, one of whom was Zawodny. Gunther and Kennedy were staying in a camping trailer that was parked in Council Bluffs, Iowa, after arguing with Kennedy in her trailer, Gunther killed her and headed to the carnival, where Gunther found Zawodny and killed him in front of several witnesses. A Sarpy County, Nebraska, jury did not take long to find Gunther guilty of the murder of Michael Zawodny and he received life imprisonment as to the first degree murder conviction
