Ruth Marie Kilgus, 46, was found dead at her home in Elizabethtown, Kentucky on March 28, 2018. Police identified her husband, 51-year-old Jesse Kilgus, as the primary suspect in her killing and began investigating at the scene.

Authorities later located Jesse Kilgus at John Hardin High School, where he had been heading to pick up his child. The school and two nearby campuses were placed on lockdown while officers engaged him in a brief standoff in his van in the parking lot. According to reports, Kilgus brandished a handgun; seven officers from three agencies then fired on the vehicle and fatally wounded him. No students or staff were injured, and the couple’s child was reported safe and placed with extended family.

What information might clarify the timeline between the discovery at the home and the confrontation at the school?
