Blood On The Floor, Blood On The Wall


"MARYVILLE, TN — Authorities are investigating a murder-suicide after two people were found dead Monday evening inside a Maryville apartment.

"Maryville Police officers were dispatched to 102 N. Everett High Road shortly after 7:30 p.m. Monday to a report of a possible deceased person.

"Lori D. Laugherty, 35, and David Michael Kirk, 47, who both lived on the apartment, were found dead upon officers’ arrival, authorities said. Maryville Police Chief Tony Crisp said both died from a gunshot wound and it is believed Kirk shot Laugherty before turning the gun on himself.

"Crisp said Laugherty’s son had called a friend to inform her he could not reach his mother. The friend, who had a key, was asked to check on the couple.

"The family friend told police she entered the apartment and saw blood on the floor and wall. She then walked into the living room and found both victims on the floor, according to the police report. She then left the apartment and phoned police.

"Based on the investigation, Crisp said, it appears a struggle started in another area of the residence and ended in the living room where the two were found lying on the floor. Authorities believe the incident occurred between 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Monday.

"`Based on our investigation, it appears Mr. Kirk murdered Ms. Laugherty and inflicted a fatal gunshot wound to himself,` Crisp said, adding that the investigation is ongoing."
