Killer Hospitalized After Botched Murder/Suicide

"BURLINGTON, KY - A Petersburg man gunned down his ex-wife in the middle of a quiet Boone County street Saturday afternoon before turning the gun on himself, Boone County sheriff’s deputies said.

"Denise Pauly, 40, of Burlington, died at the scene. Dean Pauly, 42, was taken by ambulance from Vice Lane to University Hospital where he was listed in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head, sheriff’s spokesman Tom Scheben said.

"The couple had three children.

"Denise Pauly was due at work at 7:45 a.m. Saturday, but when she didn’t show up, her employer called the sheriff’s department, Scheben said.

"The couple walked out of wooded area and onto Vice Lane around 1:05 p.m. and when Denise Pauly called to a person who lives on the street, Dean Pauly shot her in the head before shooting himself, Scheben said.

"Police dogs were brought in to search the surrounding area for evidence."
