Police Shoot Jackson County Man
KENTUCKY....
Twenty-six year old Darren Moore of Sand Gap (Jackson County) was transported to University of Kentucky Hospital Saturday night after being shot in the left arm and left leg by Kentucky State Police Trooper Jesse Armstrong and Jackson County Deputy Sheriff Kevin Berry. The officers responded to a home on U.S. 421 in Sand Gap just after 11:00 P.M. after Moore's wife alerted 911 dispatchers her husband had made threats to kill her and any responding law enforcement officers. She said her husband had been drinking. The officers say, when they arrived at the scene, they attempted to make verbal contact with Moore who appeared on the front porch armed with a shotgun. He refused commands to drop the weapon while pointing the shotgun in their direction. Authorities say Moore will be charged with the attempted murder of a police officer.
