Man Dies After Being Shot By Sheriff's Deputies

KENTUCKY...
A man shot by a sheriff's deputy in south-central Kentucky has died, and Kentucky State Police are investigating.

Simpson County Sheriff Chris Cline said he was notified Thursday that 48-year-old Kelly Halcomb of Franklin died that morning at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn.
State police say Halcomb was injured Monday night. Police say two Simpson County deputies saw a suspicious vehicle in a field and that when they approached it, Halcomb, who was inside the vehicle, allegedly tried to hit the deputies with it. Police say that when Halcomb disregarded commands from the deputies and brandished a firearm, Deputy Roy Lotz fired his service weapon, hitting Halcomb.

Neither Lotz nor the other deputy, Matt Freeman, was injured. Cline said both are assigned to administrative duty while the investigation continues.
