KENTUCKY MAN GOES BERSERK IN UNBELIEVABLE MASSACRE OF POLICE AND K9 UNIT
Three Kentucky police officers and a police canine were killed and at least four other officers were hurt in a shootout at a home of what cops called a “terrorist on a mission.”
Lance Storz, 49, was taken into custody after an almost five hour standoff with officers who had showed up at his door in rural Prestonburg with a warrant for his arrest in a domestic violence incident, according to reports.
Storz, who was armed with a rifle, opened fire and hit two officers in the Thursday evening incident, Kentucky State Police said.
Prestonburg Police Capt. Ralph Frasure and Deputy William Petry were killed, along with K9 Nelson and Canine Handler Jacob Chaffins, authorities said.
The situation escalated quickly, as Storz barricaded himself inside the home with his wife and daughter and kept firing at responding officers, cops said.
