Two people were shot and killed Wednesday night near Washington, Missouri. Deputies were called to a home in the 2400 block of Spring Valley Drive about 7:30 p.m., Franklin County Sheriff Steve Pelton said. They found Ronald Cline, 39, who had been shot dead and 34-year-old Leslie Barstow, who had been shot but was still alive, Pelton said. She was taken to a hospital by ambulance and was later pronounced dead. Investigators said a witness heard a car drive away from the area after the shooting. Both Cline and Barstow are from Pacific, Missouri.
