TAUNTON, MA — Dianne Silveira was shot outside the house on Bay Street just before 9 p.m. on Sunday. She was rushed to Morton Hospital, but pronounced dead a short time later.

Following the shooting, the victim's husband, Edmund Silveira, ran back into the home, which prompted a SWAT team response.
