Kentucky State Police is investigating an officer-involved shooting in Logan County.

The incident happened Wednesday morning at approximately 1:00 when deputies responded to a disturbance at a Lewisburg-Edwards Road residence in Lewisburg. Upon arriving at the home, police learned a male at the residence had an arrest warrant.

While interacting with the armed male, he pointed a gun “in the direction of the deputies,” according to state police. A deputy fired at the man, striking him once. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Logan County Coroner’s Office.
