LONDON, KY. (AP) - A deputy called to a domestic disturbance in southern Kentucky has fatally shot a man.
Kentucky State Police in London say Pulaski County deputies were asked to assist with an emergency call involving a domestic dispute in Wayne County.
The statement says when two deputies arrived, they were confronted by 38-year-old James M. Lane of Jabez, who was armed with a handgun.
Police say Lane refused to comply with commands from the deputies and was shot. Wayne County Coroner Forest Hicks pronounced him dead at the scene.
The names of the deputies were not released. State police are investigating.
