Kentucky State Police say a 69-year-old man was shot and killed by troopers in Lawrence County as they searched for a woman wanted on assault warrants.
Troopers went to a home on KY 1715 in the Martha area just before midnight Saturday. While they were there, a man from a neighboring home, identified as Timothy Keeton confronted them and ordered them to turn off their cruiser lights, saying he would shoot them out.
Investigators say Keeton went back inside, came out with a gun, and was shot when he raised the weapon toward troopers. The shooting remains under investigation.
