Kentucky woman starts shooting, kills husband and sister before dying in shootout with brother: police


A Kentucky woman went on a wild shooting spree, killing her husband and shooting her own sister before her brother killed her in a shootout, police said.

Angela Gosser, 56, is accused of driving to her brother's home on Friday, May 3, in Jamestown with a gun and breaking into the home. Her brother, Darryl Wilson, 58, was home at the time and, according to a news release from Kentucky State Police, also had a gun.

Police said the two brothers became involved in a shootout that ended with Gosser's death. Wilson was injured and taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

But the extent of Gosser's crime spree, according to police, only became apparent when authorities were called to the home of his sister, Jennifer Wilson, for a welfare check.

Jennifer Wilson's family said they were unable to contact her and were concerned for her safety, according to the news release.

When authorities arrived at the home in Russell County, they made a grisly discovery.

Officers and deputies found Jennifer Wilson sitting in the driver's seat of a Toyota Camry with apparent fatal gunshot wounds to the head.

Police said they believe that before the incident at his brother's house, Gosser encountered Jennifer Wilson and shot her several times through the passenger side of the car, leaving her for dead.
