By TFC Scottie Pennington

Science Hill, KY - The Kentucky State Police, London Post was notified yesterday shortly before 10:45amET by the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office for assistance involving a shooting at a residence on Smith Ridge Spur Road in Pulaski County.

Initial investigation indicates that the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office responded to the residence to investigate a shooting that had injured a Pulaski County man. When the sheriff's office arrived on the scene, the vehicle was hit by gunfire, at which time shots were exchanged, and the alleged shooter barricaded himself inside the residence.

KSP Post 11 and the Special Response Team responded to the scene, and while attempting negotiations KSP was confronted by the armed suspect, at which time shots were fired injuring the suspect.



Charles Wilson, 51, was taken into custody and transported to the University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
