Suspect in Ky. store shooting is indicted for murder

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The white man accused of opening fire in a Kentucky grocery store and parking lot, killing two black people, was indicted Wednesday on murder charges, but it’s too soon to determine if the death penalty will be sought, a prosecutor said.

The suspect, Gregory Bush, was indicted by a grand jury on two counts of murder, one count of criminal attempted murder and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment stemming from the attack at a Kroger store in suburban Louisville last week.

Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine said he first wants to talk to the victims’ families before deciding whether to pursue the death penalty against Bush, 51.

The victims were identified as Maurice Stallard, 69, and Vicki Lee Jones, 67.
