Police shot and killed a man outside John Hardin High School on Wednesday minutes after he allegedly killed his wife at their home.
Jesse Kilgus, 51, was shot in his van after he went to John Hardin to check his child out of school, according to Kentucky State Police spokesman Jeff Gregory.
Gregory said KSP received a call about a possible shooting at Wise Lane and found the body of 46-year-old Ruth Marie Kilgus around 12:40 p.m.
Police learned that Jesse Kilgus planned to pick his child up from school and confronted him there less than 20 minutes later. After a brief exchange, seven officers from three law enforcement agencies opened fire, killing Kilgus, Gregory said.
Gregory couldn't say whether he was armed.
"Obviously nobody ever wants this situation to happen, and it's unfortunate that it happened in a school parking lot, but because there's great cooperation between all three police departments that were involved in Hardin County Schools, we did everything right as far as I'm concerned," Gregory said.
