Bedford officer, woman found dead

Two children are without their mother after she was found dead in her home, along with a police officer. Investigators found their bodies in the woman’s Bedford home Monday morning.

The Bedford Police Department isn’t talking publicly about one of their own apparently killing someone else, and then himself.

Officers came to the home on Trinton Circle a little after 8:30 Monday morning after a neighbor reported hearing gun shots. Inside, they found the body of the woman who lived there, 29-year-old Kathryn Tucker.

Tucker had been shot.

Then they found 36-year-old Kyle Brown, an officer with the Bedford Police Department. Police say he had shot himself.

Neighbors said Brown and Tucker had been dating at one point, but not for long.

Police said Tucker had two children, ages nine and 14.

Officer Brown at once worked for the nearby Mitchell Police Department.
