One man is dead after being struck by a bullet fired from a Logan County Sheriff’s Deputy’s firearm, according to a Kentucky State Police press release.
A preliminary investigation indicated that two sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence on Lewisburg-Edwards Road in reference to a disturbance. One of the people involved in the disturbance had a weapon and an active arrest warrant, according to the release.
“The male individual was in possession of a firearm, which at one point during the interaction pointed in the direction of the deputies,” the release states. “One of the LCSO deputies fired their agency-issued firearm, striking the individual.”
The man sustained “life-threatening” injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Logan County Coroner’s Office.
No other injuries were reported. The investigation into the incident continues.
