January 5, 20179 yr Have read other reports. Glad he is going to be OK. It is sobering, how in today's society, so many think it is OK just to pull a gun and shoot. No value for human life whatsoever.
January 5, 20179 yr Author Non life threatening injuries to Deputy Colby Reik who is also a firefighter in Lexington. The guy who was shot and killed was a meth dealer who had a warrant out for his arrest.
January 5, 20179 yr Very lucky that first shot wasn't worse. It's hard enough to keep an eye on the driver, let alone the passenger as in this case. Glad the Deputy/Firefighter will recover.
