Three Dead, One Injured In Rural Kentucky


"LARUE COUNTY, KY — An Elizabethtown husband killed his wife and a Radcliff man on a rural road in LaRue County Tuesday, then fatally shot himself, Kentucky State Police said Friday.

"David Walker, 51, shot his wife, Barbara Walker, 51, and Steve L. Bottoms, 55, on Heying Lane in LaRue County, about three miles east of Sonora and Interstate 65, police said.

"Barbara Walker died from a gunshot wound to the chest and torso, police said. Bottoms, of Radcliff, died from a gunshot wound to the head.

"The Walkers’ daughter, April M. Roberts, 32, of Elizabethtown, was shot in both her legs, police said. She was transported to University Hospital Tuesday after driving herself to an Emergency Medical Services office in Elizabethtown and was listed in fair condition Friday, hospital spokesman David McArthur said.

"David Walker died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, police said.

"The shootings stemmed from a `domestic violence incident,` and police had responded to calls involving the Walkers in recent weeks, police have said."
