Jealous Husband Shoots Beauty Pageant Director —Naked Lover Flees NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The director of the Little Miss Tennessee pageant was shot four times in the back and killed and her male house guest was seriously wounded recently when the couple was found together nude by her husband, police said. The shooting occurred when Ramsey Kilgore said he awakened to the aroma of marijuana and searched the house. He found his wife and her associate in a basement den, police said. Metro Homicide Lt. Sherman Nickens said Patricia Kilgore, 34, was shot four times, and Gene Riordan, 22, of Oak Ridge, the sound director for the pageant, was hit twice by .38-caliber slugs. Riordan fled the house wearing only a sock, ran to a residence across the street, and reported the incident. He was taken to General Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition with wounds in the neck and abdomen. Kilgore, 36, a self-employed air conditioning repairman, suffered an epileptic seizure after the shooting and received emergency treatment at the hospital. He was then taken to Metro Police headquarters, where officers he made a statement. Police said Kilgore will be charged with murder and assault with intent to commit murder. “ I shot them both and there’s my wife lying right there,” police quoted Kilgore as saying when officers arrived at the house. “ Mr. Kilgore told us he walked through the house, and when he got to the top of the basement stairs, he saw his wife and the other man lying together on a table,” Detective Frank Pierce said. “He said he does not recall taking a gun with him, but that the instant he saw them there together, something snapped and he began wrestling with Riordan.” 226 N.W.Davis, P o r t l a n d 2234447 174E.Broadway Eugene 3423366 15
