Neighbor remembers man killed in Sunday afternoon shooting

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A 74-year-old man was killed and his son injured in a shooting Sunday afternoon on Galloway’s Mill Road.

Kentucky State Police responding to a shooting and stabbing scene over the weekend.

According to police, Daniel Moore and Bradley Heard were involved in an altercation that resulted in Moore receiving a knife wound.

Moore is then accused of firing multiple rounds striking Bradley Heard and his father, Russell Heard, according to a release from KSP.

Russell Heard was pronounced dead at the scene and Bradley Heard was taken to the hospital.

“Just shocked at the whole situation. It’s nothing you ever want to hear about or see,” said neighbor Randy Richey.

Richey, a lifelong neighbor of the Heard family, said Rockfield lost a good man Sunday afternoon.

“I grew up in this area and Russell and Francis lived down the road from us and we went to church together at Clear Fork and they used to pick me up and take me to Sunday school and church different times for different events. Always a personable family; always nice and outgoing,” said Richey.

Richey also said, when his grandson was selling popcorn with the Boy Scouts, Russell invited him in and told him about his years in Boy Scouts.

Bradley Heard was listed in critical but stable condition early Sunday night, according to the release.

Law enforcement found Moore in a pickup truck on Russellville Road minutes after the shooting where he was then taken by ambulance to the hospital for his injuries.

When asked if there would be any other charges, Kentucky State Trooper Daniel Priddy said nothing has been made official.

“If there are any further charges that come from this investigation, we will release that when it is available,” said Priddy.

Moore was released from the hospital, charged with first-degree manslaughter and was lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail.

The investigation is ongoing.
