In March, police say Richardson started causing problems for McCord, who filed an Interpersonal Protective Order against him. Richardson said he obtained a handgun and went to McCord鈥檚 home intending to kill her and three neighbors who apparently intervened in an earlier incident.

Police say Richardson confronted McCord, told her to call the neighbors outside, and when she refused he shot her.

At the time of her death McCord, best known as C.D., was a teacher in McCracken County Schools. She's also taught in Crittenden County and Paducah Public Schools.听
