November 19, 20169 yr Police investigating shooting death of Tommy Ballard | KYStandard.com Ugh. This poor family has suffered enough. After reading the article, I would agree Jim.......WOW!
November 19, 20169 yr Been upset about this all day. He helped us search for my missing friends several times. Good people. Lots of red flags.
November 19, 20169 yr Am I the only one that thinks there is something seriously wrong in Nelson Co.?
November 20, 20169 yr Tommy Ballard death investigation being considered possible homi - wave3.com-Louisville News, Weather & Sports According to the sources, who have not been authorized to speak publicly about the investigation say that Ballard's weapon was not fired, the Kentucky Standard reports. The newspaper also reports that a source close to the family says Ballard was shot in the back, with the shot possibly going through the heart. Family did confirm on Saturday that Ballard was with his grandson at the time of the incident. The family says the two were about to go hunting when the grandson returned to the vehicle they were riding in and heard a shot fire, the newspaper reported. Sources are saying the grandson was unarmed and that Ballard was waiting in the field when he was shot. No suspects have been identified.
November 22, 20169 yr Am I the only one that thinks there is something seriously wrong in Nelson Co.? Nope. Sadly, it's pretty common belief in the area. I love the community; maybe one of, if not my favorite in the entire state...Bardstown is such a cool little town, even some of the outliers like New Haven (home to one of the oldest bars/saloons in the state, The Sherwood..no TV, no bands...entertainment is conversation )..but, you were already seeing "Solve These Murders" signs in yards as you drive all over in the county & this just makes things all that much worse. I can't begin to imagine the pain their family and others in the county that have had this dealt to them in recent years must be feeling.
November 22, 20169 yr That's creepy. It seems like someone knew he'd be out and ambushed him. Same thing that happened to Officier Ellis some 3 1/2 years ago when he pulled over on the Bloomfield exit off the Bluegrass Parkway in the early morning hours to remove some brush that had deliberately been placed there. Gets out and was ambushed by a shotgun(s) from a hill above.
December 1, 20169 yr Crazy and sad at the same time. It seems pretty cut and dry though as to what is going on.
December 2, 20169 yr Author Death Stalks The 'Bourbon Capital' | The Huffington Post National news. Greeeeaaaat. This is just getting out of hand. I figure it won't be long until some Hatfield-McCoy stuff starts going down. I don't get the impression that the Ballard family has a great deal of faith in how the investigation is going. Somebody's gonna take matters into their own hands.
December 2, 20169 yr Author Crazy and sad at the same time. It seems pretty cut and dry though as to what is going on. Still gotta have proof, though.
December 2, 20169 yr Still gotta have proof, though. I completely agree with that, the worse thing the Commonwealth Attorney can do at this point is indict someone they don't have a solid case against. I'm not sure how much independent assistance they have had in this, but personally I would be asking for every bit of help I could get from the FBI and ATF. To be honest, the DOJ probably needs to be involved as well. I have limited knowledge on what happened since I'm on the other side of the state, but it's pretty obvious to me what's going on. It's a sad situation in more ways than I care to explain.
