Autopsy Reveals Wife Pulled Trigger in Fulton Murder-Suicide

January 12, 2008 By admin Leave a Comment

The investigation of a murder-suicide involving a Fulton police officer goes on, but authorities have now released information on who pulled the trigger.

Autopsy results released Friday night show it was Lorie Rentschler McKee who shot and killed her husband, Fulton Police Lieutenant Richard McKee, before turning the gun on herself. The autopsy report indicates she shot him as he slept. She was found next to her husband with the gun in her hand.

Fulton Police Chief Steve Meyers says the killing of one of his officers is a shock. He adds support for the department has been coming in from law enforcement agencies and citizens from throughout the state.

Investigators say that while the probe is on-going, it is believed the McKees were having marital and financial problems.
