Kentucky State Police Post 15 detectives have determined that the shooting was domestic related and are now working a murder/suicide. Barry Moore, 40, shot and killed his ex-wife, Pamela Moore, 43. The couple was divorced but still living together.
The shooting occurred at a residence owned by 66-year-old Barbara Wright, located just behind the Moore’s residence. Detectives believe that Barry Moore pursued Pamela Moore to the residence where he shot his ex-wife and two other women at the residence. Barbara Wright’s granddaughter, 22-year-old Ashley Wright, was at the residence and was also shot. Barry Moore then turned the weapon on himself and took his own life.

The state police dispatch out of Columbia received a call Friday from the Green County 911 center at approximately 10:35 a.m. A caller advised that there was a shooting at a residence on Ky. 218 and that there were multiple victims.
Trooper Billy Gregory, public information officer for the state police out of Columbia, stated there are one male and one female deceased.
At the same time, the state police out of Bowling Green is working a death investigation in the 6000 block of Mammoth Cave Road near Cave City.
“It does not appear at this time that they are linked in any way,” said Trooper Jonathan Biven, public information officer for the state police out of Bowling Green. “As far as what’s going on with it, we just don’t know yet.”
At least one person is believed to be dead, but Biven would not speculate whether the deceased was male or female. No other information about either death investigation was available. More details are expected later.
