Murder And Suicide By Cop


"BEDFORD, IN - A Bedford City Police officer and his estranged girlfriend are dead in an apparent murder-suicide, according to a report issued by the Indiana State Police Post at Bloomington.

"`At 8:36 a.m. Monday, the Lawrence County Sheriffs Department responded to a shots fired call at 1051 Trenton Circle, Bedford [this address does not exist on any online map - tsc]. Upon their arrival deputies discovered a male and female subject deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. The male subject was recognized by deputies as a Bedford Police Officer, an agency the Sheriffs Department works closely with. This prompted the Lawrence County Sheriff to contact the Indiana state Police Bloomington Post to head up the investigation,` said Sgt. Don Gregory, ISP Public Information Officer.

"Preliminary investigations indicate Kathryn R. Tucker, 29, of Bedford, had recently ended a relationship with Kyle Brown, 35, also of Bedford.

"`This morning Mr. Brown drove his personal vehicle to her residence at which time he made entry into her home,` Sgt. Gregory said.

"According to the Lawrence County Coroner, John Sherrill, both subjects died from apparent gunshot wounds.

"`Mr. Brown's fatal wound appeared to be consistent with a self inflicted one,` Gregory noted in a prepared news release."
