'An irrational act'
Top-ranking female officer, retired superintendent found in scene
of horror The service pistol used belonged to Kelly
JOHNSON,
a leader in fighting domestic violence.
By Randy RICHMOND and Kelly
PEDRO, Sun Media, Fri., June 8, 2007
Just before London police's "rising female star" and her ex-lover,
a retired officer, were killed in a murder-suicide, she made
a mysterious stop at the police station.
Then,
Acting
Insp. Kelly
JOHNSON, the force's highest- ranking
female officer, jumped into a waiting van.
Minutes later, two gunshots were fired inside a van before it
crashed into a brick wall six blocks away from the station, outside
JOHNSON's apartment building at 7 Picton St.
Stunned neighbours found
JOHNSON, 40, dead, her face bloody,
her 9 mm Glock service pistol -- which she wasn't authorized
to have with her -- on her lap.
Beside her, the driver of the van and her ex-lover, retired superintendent
David LUCIO, 57, was slumped over with what witnesses: called
a bullet wound to the head.
Neighbours called 911 at 12: 01 a.m. yesterday and police arrived
within four minutes to discover the unthinkable: two of their
own were dead.
Even more unthinkable -- police and civilian sources and witness
accounts pointed yesterday to
JOHNSON -- a noted community leader
in fighting domestic violence -- as the one who shot
LUCIO.
A subdued police Chief Murray
FAULKNER stressed police won't
know who shot whom until after an autopsy scheduled for today.
"Nothing that happened last night makes any sense right yet,"
he told The Free Press. "There will be sources that say that
(JOHNSON was the shooter,) and I understand that."
"But we need to have proof, not just speculation, not just opinion,"
FAULKNER said.
Even after the autopsies, police may never know why the killings
occurred.
"Was there anything yesterday that would indicate there would
be a problem at midnight last night? Not a single thing. Was
there anything in her mood, anything? No, no,"
FAULKNER said.
FAULKNER said he didn't know why
JOHNSON, after leaving work
about 5 p.m., returned just before midnight.
"Did she come to get some workout clothes? Did she come to get
her service revolver? I don't know."
She wasn't authorized to take her gun home,
FAULKNER said.
An officer who saw
JOHNSON at the station noticed nothing amiss,
FAULKNER said.
The first civilians to find
JOHNSON and
LUCIO after the shooting
described a scene of quiet horror.
"I heard a gunshot, then I heard an engine revving and then a
crash," said Brian
KEARN, who was in the front lobby of his apartment
building near where the van crashed.
He and several other building residents ran outside.
"We tried to get in the van and help the victims but the doors
were locked," he said.
KEARN said he saw a female passenger, with a severe head wound
from a gunshot, sitting in the passenger side. A handgun rested
on her lap.
The male driver appeared to have a bullet wound to his right
temple, KEARN said.
"There was no movement. The people were obviously dead."
Other witnesses: described seeing the man with a bloody left arm
and blood down his back.
"It was awful, just gruesome" said one woman, a nearby resident.
"You could see blood on the airbags."
Another resident of the same building said he heard a bang and
watched from his second-floor window as the van rolled back after
hitting the wall.
When he got to the van, "they were lifeless."
Police on the scene grew instantly quiet once they opened the
van, KEARN said.
"There were quite subdued. They were quite quiet."
JOHNSON was an 18-year veteran of the force.
She's served for several years as the detective sergeant in charge
of the sexual assault and child abuse section and supervised
the force's domestic violence co-ordinator.
Five days ago, she was named acting inspector of the department's
professional standards branch.
Kelly "was a very bright, articulate community-minded officer&hellip
If there was a rising star, specifically female, she was it,"
FAULKNER said.
LUCIO retired as superintendent in 2004 after 35 years of service.
JOHNSON was a role model for many of the about 100 female officers,
FAULKNER said.
"LUCIO was a role model for many of the male officers,"
FAULKNER
said.
"When you see this happen to two people that you either very
much admire and emulate, it shakes your confidence."
Most of the force's 180 civilian employees took the news especially
hard, FAULKNER said.
"It's the tough cop that doesn't show emotion, but civilian staff
are not used to that."
A shaken police board chairperson, Ab
CHAHBAR, said it was a
sad day for the force.
"You can see it all over their faces," he said.
FAULKNER confirmed
JOHNSON and
LUCIO had had a relationship,
but didn't say how close they were.
The two were ex-lovers, several sources told The Free Press.
JOHNSON had been married for several years to a fellow London
officer, Steve
PEARSON, but they separated.
LUCIO was also separated from his wife.
It wasn't clear if
LUCIO and
JOHNSON still had a relationship.
The deaths stunned not only the 720 members of the force, but
hundreds more in community groups where the two high-profile
officers volunteered.
"It's just a great personal tragedy for both families, Friends
and loved ones and anyone who worked with either one of them,"
said Megan
WALKER, head of the London Abused Women's Centre.
"He was a very, very close friend of mine… He loved being a cop,"
said Dave SCATCHERD, owner of the Oakwood resort in Grand Bend.
Police called Ontario's Special Investigations Unit, which probes
civilian deaths and injuries from police actions, but the agency
left the case to London police because the "subject officer"
was dead, FAULKNER said.
