The Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred Monday afternoon in Nelson County.
The KSP says the preliminary investigation indicates that on November 10 a man called 911 advising that his son was firing a weapon in his residence in a threatening manner. The suspect, 37-year-old Terry Carney Jr. of Bardstown, then left the home in his truck.
Deputies with the Nelson County Sheriff’s Office located Carney and attempted a traffic stop. The KSP says Carney “rammed a deputy’s cruiser with his truck, and an officer fired at the vehicle.” Carney fled the scene and a vehicle pursuit ensued that ended when Carney drove his truck off the roadway, coming to rest in the 400 block of Woodlawn Road. The KSP says Carney exited the vehicle holding his weapon and fired it. Officers fired their weapons and Carney sustained fatal injuries.
The KSP has statewide jurisdiction and investigates officer-involved shootings throughout Kentucky as requested by law enforcement. An autopsy will be conducted by the Office of the State Medical Examiner in Louisville. The KSP’s investigation is ongoing.
