Name of the deceased will be released pending notification of next of kin By MTPR Norman Chaffins, Public Affairs Officer News from Kentucky State Police, Post 4, Elizabethtown, KY LARUE COUNTY, KY - On Friday, December 7, 2012 at approximately 9:24pmCT/10:24pmCT, Larue County Dispatch received a call of a reckless driver. A Larue County Deputy responded and located the vehicle in question. The Deputy observed the vehicle driving recklessly and he attempted to initiate a traffic stop by engaging his emergency equipment. The suspect ignored the Deputy's signals to stop and a vehicle pursuit ensued. The pursuit continued on KY 1192 near the 5 mile post when the suspect's vehicle spun out and came to rest facing the Deputy. As he approached the vehicle the suspect accelerated towards the him. The Deputy fired shots into the vehicle striking the suspect in the head. The vehicle then exited the roadway and into a ditch. Larue County EMS transported the suspect to Hardin Memorial Hospital. He was later transported to the University of Louisville Hospital. Early this morning, the suspect was pronounced dead and an autopsy is being performed. Larue County Sheriff's Office requested that KSP investigate the shooting. The Deputy was not injured in the incident. The name of the suspect and the Deputy involved will be released at a later time pending notification of family members. The Deputy's cruiser was equipped with a mobile video recorder, however, it has been logged into evidence and cannot be released at this time. Alcohol was located in the suspect's vehicle and does appear to be a factor in the suspect's reckless driving. This investigation is ongoing. This story was posted on 2012-12-08 10:13:06
