Former State Representative 56 year old Steve Nunn, the son of late Governor Louie B. Nunn, was taken into custody Friday and charged with six counts of wanton endangerment after allegedly firing a .38 caliber handgun when police approached him at the cemetery where his parents are buried. Nunn was taken to Bowling Green Medical Center with self-inflicted wounds on his wrists. Police say he is a person of interest in the death of his former fiancee, 29 year old Amanda Ross who was found shot to death in front of her home in Lexington. Nunn had resigned in March from his post as Governor Beshear's Deputy Secretary for Health and Family Services, after being placed on a domestic violence order following charges he assaulted Ross.
