EUBANK, Ky. (LEX 18) — A man is facing a murder charge after the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office says he shot and killed his wife after an argument.
Around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office responded to 12637 N. Hwy 27 for reports of two unresponsive people in a home.
The 911 caller said her mother-in-law, 67-year-old Doris S. Brock, didn't show up to work. When the caller went to check on Doris, she found both her mother-in-law and father-in-law, 78-year-old James L. Brock, unresponsive.
