Country music star’s mother killed at 62, suspect shot dead. Here’s what we know

Country music star Spencer Hatcher took to Instagram just more than a week ago to announce he was cancelling some of his upcoming shows due to a “monumental loss” in his family.

And now we know what that heartbreaking loss was.

According to multiple reports, the singer’s mother, Holly Hatcher, was killed on Aug. 3 by an armed intruder during a home invasion in Virginia.

She was 62.

According to reports, 41-year-old Kevin Walker entered the Hatcher home and stabbed Holly to death before attacking her husband, Michael Hatcher. Michael was able to get free and was able to get a handgun out of his car that he used to shoot and kill Walker.

Rockingham Country police said they found Hatcher suffering from “visible injury” when they responded.

“There’s no way for you to know the trauma and the pain and the unanswered questions that I have had (and) that my three sons, Dane, Spencer and Connor have had,” Michael said in a video statement. “Each of you have made it much more bearable through your outpouring of love and your caring and your kindness and support to all of us, and for that, I thank you so much.”

Rockingham County Sheriff Bryan Hutcheson said it was a “highly unusual, apparently completely random (attack) with an individual with no known history of violent behavior of any kind, or even criminal behavior of any kind.

“With 31 years in law enforcement for me, I have never seen anything like it in my career.”
