He allegedly shot and killed Jordan Morgan, a 32-year-old lawyer, in her bed, according to Kentucky State Police.

Then, according to investigators, he confronted her father, a single-term state House member who unsuccessfully challenged Sen. Mitch McConnell in the GOP primary in 2020.

Wesley Morgan returned fire and suffered "non-life-threatening injuries" in the shootout, according to authorities. The assailant fled in a white car.

Jail records show Gilday faces charges of murder, attempted murder, burglary, criminal mischief, and assault.

He was being held on a $2 million bond.

Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Hmm...

“Weeks before the fatal shooting of Jordan on February 22, 2022, he was not “of sound mind” and was “distraught with the certainty a nuclear war is imminent,” his mother wrote on Facebook on February 26, 2022.”

Always a good idea to set up an insanity defense before setting out with the intention of engaging in capital murder.

Apparently he also told his mother he wanted to build a bunker and that the “CIA was following him around”.

Well, this statement was from the mother between the time of the killing and his arrest. That “not of sound mind” bit certainly sounds like she consulted with a lawyer.

Well, if he attended a school board meeting...

“ $2 million bond.”
