Man shot in Rockfield incident charged with assault

ROCKFIELD, Ky. – A man who was shot in an incident that claimed the life of his father has been charged with assault.

Bradley Heard, 37, is charged with one count of first-degree assault in a Feb. 14 incident that resulted in another man’s stabbing injury and the death of Russell Heard.

Daniel Moore is accused of shooting Heard’s 74-year-old father to death outside of the elder Heard’s home.

Bradley Heard is accused of stabbing Moore, according to Kentucky State Police.

A preliminary hearing in Heard’s case is scheduled Friday in Warren District Court.

At 12:29 p.m. Feb. 14 multiple people knocked on a camper parked at the home of Russell Heard at 995 Galloways Mill Road in Rockfield. A caller to police dispatch said the people knocked on the camper and wanted to know the whereabouts of Bradley Heard, according to Moore’s arrest citation.

The caller told a dispatcher that Russell Heard had been shot and was possibly deceased, and Moore had left the scene in a red Ford Ranger with his sister, Jennifer Moore, according to the citation. Bradley Heard had also been shot.

Minutes later police and emergency medical services responded to an area near Interstate 165 and Russellville Road where they found an injured Daniel Moore. Moore had a stab injury, was taken to a local hospital, treated and released.

Detectives questioned Moore, who said he went to the property to retrieve a gun that had been taken from him by a woman who was in the camper with Bradley Heard. Moore said Bradley Heard came out of residence with a knife in each hand. Moore told detectives he fired a warning shot toward the ground of the residence but Bradley Heard continued to advance, according to the citation.

Moore said he fired additional shots and left the area not realizing he had been injured, according to his citation. Moore told detectives he did not know Russell Heard had been shot.

Police found Russell Heard dead in front of the residence. Bradley Heard sustained three gunshot wounds.

Moore and Bradley Heard are both being held in the Warren County Regional Jail.
