CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — A Cary woman whom police say was killed by her ex-husband at the Cameron Village shopping center in September died of eight gunshot wounds, including two to the head, according to an autopsy report released Monday.

Kathleen Ann Bertrand, 41, also suffered gunshot wounds to her right face and neck, as well as her upper left chest and arm.

The mother of three was reporting to work at Pier 1 Imports on Daniels Street on the morning of Sept. 10 when, investigators said, Christopher John Bertrand, 42, confronted her in the parking lot and killed her.

Christopher Bertrand committed suicide hours later.

Court documents indicate that Kathleen Bertrand had sought out a domestic violence protective order in the past because Christopher Bertrand harassed her to the point that she and her children went into hiding.
