A man shot and killed a woman who broke into his residence in Zanesville
early yesterday morning, police said. He was wounded in the exchange of
gunfire.

Kristina Lynne Holskey, 39, reportedly broke into the apartment of Terry J.
McConnell, 46, at 10701/2 Linden Ave. just north of downtown Zanesville
about 3:30 a.m., said Zanesville Police Capt. Tony Coury.

A neighbor living in the ground-floor apartment below McConnell called 911
to report hearing gunshots. When police arrived, they found McConnell with a
gunshot wound in his stomach. He was transported to OhioHealth Grant Medical
Center in Columbus, where he remained in serious condition yesterday.

Holskey was on the floor, bleeding but still alive. She was transported to
Genesis Good Samaritan hospital in Zanesville, where she later died.

Holskey, of Dresden, had an extensive record in Zanesville Municipal Court,
with charges including domestic violence, petty theft, menacing and
possession of drug paraphernalia.

McConnell's preteen son was in the apartment at the time of the shooting but
was uninjured. He's now with relatives.

Coury said he didn't think the double shooting originated from a domestic
dispute. It remains under investigation.
