Hazard KSP Fatally Shoots Letcher County Man
According to a KSP release, Post 13 in Hazard received a call around 11:14 P.M. Friday night requesting a trooper to conduct a welfare check at the home of Terry Wayne Taulbee on Leopard Drive in the Letcher County community of Jackhorn. Kentucky State Police say, when 15 year veteran Trooper Ben McCray went to the home, Taulbee displayed a weapon, and, while approaching the trooper, made threats toward him. When Taulbee was advised to put the weapon down, he refused and raised the weapon in the direction of McCray who fired his service weapon, fatally shooting Taulbee.
