A 21-year-old man fatally shot his girlfriend early Saturday, then went to his family’s home and killed himself, Nicholasville police said.
Isabella Mae Walsh, 20, was found dead with two gunshot wounds when police responded to a call about a shooting at a home on Edwards Road early Saturday, Nicholasville police said in a news release.
