The former spouse of the man who, police say shot and killed two people in a Publix supermarket last week issued a statement Tuesday expressing "sadness and sorrow" over the murders but also frustration with law enforcement statements insinuating she did not do enough to stop the tragedy.

“We want to express our deepest condolences to the family that was so tragically impacted by the actions of Timothy Wall last week," said Monica Wall said in a statement. "There are no words that can adequately express the sadness and sorrow that is felt for the family of the victims.” 

But in the statement released by Wall's attorney, Bryan M. Raymond of West Palm Beach, Wall also said she was "disheartened" by Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw's comments at a press conference shortly after the shootings. Wall feels Bradshaw's rhetoric insinuated she could have done more to warn about her ex-husband's potential for violence.
