Prayers Sent to THe Bardstown PD

Horrible situation...many prayers for those he leaves behind.

The whole thing seems so senseless. It sounds like someone put a bunch of brush on the off ramp and waited in hiding to ambush him when he got out to move it. I wonder if they were targeting him specifically, or just anybody who stopped to move the brush? Heck, if it had been me come along before him, I'd have hopped out and moved it. Would the attacker have shot me? Scary...and this guy is still out there.

I think he was set up.

Thank You. God Bless You and Yours. Things have been tight in the Scanlan House or the few days.

Terrible situation and my heart goes out to the family, both immediate and extended. God bless and protect all our first responders as they are in harms way on a nearly constant basis.

I hope the catch the ******** that did this and hang them.

Definitely a setup, question is, were they targeting the police, or were they just going to shoot whoever showed up? Anybody know if a call was placed to the police, reporting the debris in the roadway? If not, I don't see how they could have been targeting that officer. Either way it's really tragic, and just nuts.

I agree, BUT...I also know that the Bluegrass Parkway at 2am is desolate. Very few cars out there. If they knew when the officer got off duty and knew his route home, it wouldn't have been too hard to get close.

Could very well be...but you never know...

I'm guessing the dash cam would have caught nothing but him getting out of the cruiser to move the debris, then getting shot.

It's scary.

I don't know anything about the Officer that was killed, but everyone is asking who, and why. there are lots of crooked cops, not saying he was. just thinking why this happened, most ambushes are for a reason.

He was their only K9 officer, and from what I've read was big into drug enforcement. Pissing off the wrong dealer/grower could be reason enough.

On a positive note (if that's possible), his dog is being retired to live out his days with the officer's family.

Prayers go out to the family and friends of this officer.

That is what I heard. It was meant for him. No one knows for sure except for the scumbag.
