Ohio Cop Dies In Double-Murder Suicide

Three people including a veteran Lancaster (Ohio) Police officer died early Tuesday, after a possessive husband gunned down his ex-wife and the officer before turning the gun on himself.

The bodies of Stephanie Adams, 39, and her friend, off-duty Officer Randy Bartow, 56, of Logan, were found inside Adams' home.

Kevin J. Adams, 40, also was found in the house and was taken to Fairfield Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 2:24 a.m.

Kevin and Stephanie Adams, who had been married for more than 20 years, were granted a dissolution of the marriage in May.
