A man fatally shot
his ex-girlfriend and their 8-year-old daughter, wounded his mother
during a struggle and then killed himself at a Kentucky condominium
complex, police said Thursday.
The shooter, Gary Stewart Jr., had a history of making threats
against his former girlfriend and once had put a cocked gun to her head,
according to the woman’s petition for a protective order in 2010.
“I’m terrified he will seriously kill me to get me out of the
way,” Jillian Wood said in the petition. “I need him to have absolutely
no contact with me.”
The protective order required him to stay
away from her and was in effect from early 2010 until early February
this year. The order also had prohibited him from possessing a firearm.
