Indiana State Police Respond to an Apparent Murder Suicide Investigation

BEDFORD, IN - At 8:36 a.m. on May 19, 2009, the Lawrence County Sheriff's Department responded to a shots fired call at 1051 Trenton Circle, Bedford. 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.

Preliminary investigations indicate Kathryn R. Tucker, 29 had recently ended a relationship with Kyle Brown, 35. On the morning of Tuesday May 19, Mr. Brown drove his personal vehicle to her residence at which time he made entry into her home.

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.
