A deadly shooting in Kentucky left two families hurting the day before Thanksgiving in Lexington.
Lexington police say just after 1:30 Wednesday afternoon, a man called the police saying he shot his wife. When police got to the home, they found a woman who had been shot multiple times inside. She was declared dead at the scene.
The victim was identified as 47-year-old Talina “Tina” Henderson.
“It’s horrible for the, you know, what’s happened. Just in another person taking a person’s life but here at thanksgiving and this, you know we’ve got two families that are here,” says Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn.
This tragedy happened in the Masterson Station neighborhood on Bay Colony Lane, an area most people describe as quiet.
“Great neighborhood. From what I understand, neighbors know neighbors. You know, it’s a good neighborhood and friendly,” says Ginn.
Ginn says someone else was inside the house at the time and saw what happened but no one else was hurt.
Court documents show that Talina filed a petition for a protective order days earlier on November 20, and court paperwork shows that it was not immediately granted.
Tina worked at UK Health Care since 2001.
“There’s not a whole lot that police can do about domestics,” says Ginn.
Lexington police arrested 59-year-old Stephon Henderson. He’s being held at the Fayette County Detention Center. Henderson has been charged with murder, violating an Emergency Protective Order (EPO) and possession of a gun by a convicted felon.
