UPDATE: 1 dead, 2 Bowling Green officers released from hospital following shooting

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Kentucky State Police has released further details regarding a shooting that left one person dead and two Bowling Green officers injured.

According to a release by the Kentucky State Police, KSP’s Critical Incident Response Team was requested by the Bowling Green Police Department to investigate an officer-involved shooting that occurred on Nov. 6 round 4:30 a.m. CIRT detectives arrived on the scene and began an investigation into the incident.

Troopers say a preliminary investigation found that two BGPD officers responded to a call for service involving an individual experiencing a mental health crisis.

During the response, authorities say the individual “became combative, attempted to disarm one of the officers and was able to gain control of a weapon, firing it in the direction of the two officers.”

One of the BGPD officers fired their agency-issued firearm, striking the individual, according to the release.

The man sustained life-threatening injuries as a result of the incident and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Warren County Coroner’s Office.

Both officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries from gunshot wounds during the incident and were transported to a local hospital, where they have both been treated and released.

This information is based on the preliminary investigation into this incident and could be subject to change through the course of the ongoing investigation as investigators interview vital witnesses and gather pertinent facts.

KSP was assisted at the scene by the Bowling Green Police Department, Warren County Coroner’s Office and Med-Com EMS.
