Brianna Rich, 27, faces a murder charge for fatally shooting her mother, Carol Rich, 50, at their home in London, Kentucky, on March 14, 2025. Deputies responded to reports of a shooting after Brianna called 911 herself, admitting she “just shot at my mother.” First responders found Carol outside the house with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced her dead at the scene.

Brianna told dispatchers she fired around five shots after a physical altercation where her mother allegedly tried to choke her. She claimed, “I’m holding blankets on her wounds, and she don’t have a pulse. There’s a lot of blood,” and said the abuse had been ongoing, preventing her from leaving the house. Family noted Brianna was staying there while addressing a drug relapse after two years sober.
Family Background
Brianna’s older sister, Bridgett Rich, revealed this wasn’t the first attempt; years earlier, Brianna allegedly tried to stab Carol while she slept, stopped by Carol’s boyfriend then. Brianna remains in Laurel County Correctional Center on a $250,000 bond and was ordered for an inpatient competency exam, with her next hearing set for June 1.
