Sheriff's officials are investigating a homicide reported by the victim's wife just off Fort Campbell Boulevard on the Fidelio Road about 8:15 Friday night.

The victim is identified in the report on file at the Sheriff's Office as 28-year old Vincent Goslyn, Jr. of Beers Avenue, Ft. Campbell.

The report from Deputy Scott Noisworthy says the ECC received the call saying that Goslyn had been shot several times and was bleeding and ''unresponsive''.

Goslyn was apparently dead when officers arrived.

The victim's wife, Jessie Goslyn, was the reporting person and she was being questioned along with others concerning the incident which occurred just east of the intersection of the Fidelio road and Fort Campbell Boulevard, which is almost directly across from the Wal-Mart Distribution Center.

The site was just outside the 500 foot stretch of city jurisdiction on either side of Fort Campbell Boulevard.

The investigation continues.

Salvage work to begin Saturday at bridge site

bridge1

Efforts to remove a 322 ft. section of the Eggner’s Ferry Bridge and other debris from the Delta Mariner is set to begin tomorrow, weather permitting.

Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Lieutenant Jennifer Jessie says Foss Maritime and the Coast Guard agreed on a plan to remove the steel and concrete and that all of the necessary equipment is in place to begin.

Lieutenant Jessie says there are a lot of moving parts and a lot of tall metal pieces of equipment that would require a delay in action, if forecasted thunderstorms impact the area Saturday.

The Delta Mariner has been sitting in place at the site it crashed into the 80-year old bridge last Thursday night. No one was killed or injured in the incident and motorists have had to use detours to get across Kentucky Lake ever since.
