The Whitley County mother accused of shooting and killing her husband and two daughters has been indicted on charges of murder and wanton endangerment.
Courtney Taylor was not in court as her attorney learned that she had been indicted by a grand jury. Taylor is accused of killing her two daughters, 18-year-old Jessie Taylor and 13-year-old sister Jolee, and her husband 58-year-old Larry Taylor as they slept.

Deputies responded to the call about the shooting around 10:12 p.m. on January 13 at the Taylor home on U.S. 25 W. When they arrived on scene, deputies say Taylor brandished her weapon and pointed it at deputies once they entered the residence.
One deputy fired his weapon at Taylor, striking her. She was transported to Baptist Health Corbin and then to UK Medical Center, where she was released into police custody.
In a police interview, Taylor reportedly told officers she killed her husband when she discovered that a $264,000 cash settlement she deposited was almost gone. Troopers testified in court that Taylor left a letter explaining that she grew up unloved and didn’t want her daughters to grow up the same way.
Taylor’s arraignment is set for April 17. She remains in jail on a $1 million cash bond.
