Wyn was indicted on manslaughter charges in 2016 but her story seemed to line up since she had gotten a restraining order against Shane in the past for assault. “In my opinion, Shane did it to himself.” Image Credit: KOBI-TV NBC5 “I’d hate the people to think my daughter is a killer, because she’s not,” Kelly Moore said, adding that Reed was in “terrible” fear at the time. Kelly said that Wyn had shot in self-defense to protect themselves after Shane had started to assault her. She had shown bruises that she said were caused by Shane.

Kelly said when Shane arrived, he hit her with the door and then proceeded to assault her. Also present were Kelly and Wyn, who had helped Lore settle back in after a visit to the hospital.Īfter the shooting, Kelly had stated that both she and Wyn were scared for their safety because Shane had threatened them for months, including that day. On the day of the shooting, Shane had hired a notary and come by to the house.

Shane wanted Lore to deed the house to him, while Kelly was against that. At the time, Shane and Kelly had a dispute regarding the property in Oregon, where Kelly’s mother Lore and Shane lived together. Kelly and her daughter Wyn were in the news back in 2016 after Wyn had shot her uncle Shane Moore in the chest at Kelly’s mother’s property. (She had divorced Daniel in 2000 and was given primary custody of their three children). Kelly had also co-authored ‘Amber House’ and its sequel ‘Neverwas’ with her daughters Wyn and Larkin. The two went on to have three children together: Wyn, Larkin, and St. Much before that, though, Kelly had also co-written the 1988 bestseller ‘Deadly Medicine’ with her future spouse Daniel Reed.
