Woman Allegedly Shoots Husband After He Showed Up At 'Boyfriend's Residence,' Gets Arrested

A Kentucky woman has been arrested for fatally shooting her husband after he arrived at her "boyfriend's residence." The woman called the police to report the crime.

The suspect, identified as Katherine Morrison, 28, of Campbellsville, called police to say that she had shot her husband. The shooting occurred just before 11 p.m. on Sept. 24 at an apartment in South Central Avenue in Campbellsville, WDRB-TV reported, citing court documents.

Earlier that evening, Morrison called the police saying her husband made threats against her. She reportedly sought advice from cops to deal with her husband in case he arrives at her boyfriend's place. "She wanted advice in reference to what she could do if he showed up," the arrest report stated, according to the outlet.

Police told the outlet that the woman called back a few minutes later and said that her husband had arrived at the apartment and that she had shot him.

The woman told cops that she asked her husband to come to the apartment and sit on a couch as she pointed a handgun at him. Morrison said her husband grabbed her several times and said she wouldn't pull the trigger. However, she shot him the final time he grabbed her, court documents stated, according to WDRB-TV.

Morrison's boyfriend's statement, however, didn't match with that of hers. He told the police that he witnessed the shooting and that Morrison's husband never touched her. Morrison was charged with murder and is currently being held at the Taylor County Detention Center, WBKO-TV reported.

Authorities identified Morrison's husband as John H. Berry, 38. Berry was transported to the hospital following the shooting, but doctors failed to resuscitate him.

In May 2021, a Virginia woman shot her husband to death and turned the gun on herself in a case of murder-suicide. The woman walked into a convenience store and informed the clerk that she had killed her husband and was about to kill herself. She then got into a red Jeep parked in the store's parking lot. When deputies arrived, they found two people in the Jeep's driver and passenger seats dead, each with gunshot wounds. The motive for the murder-suicide wasn't known immediately.
