Reports: Multiple law enforcement officers shot in southeastern Kentucky
WDRB-TV ^ | 6/30/2022

Posted on 06/30/2022 7:21:56 PM PDT by Republican Wildcat

Law enforcement groups are posting on social media, asking for prayers for officers on scene in the small town of Allen, which is about 35 miles northeast of Hazard, Kentucky.

LEX18 is reporting that Kentucky Route 1428 between Citizens Bank of Kentucky and Allen curve is currently closed and that the incident is reportedly on Main Street.

In a Facebook post, the Hodgenville Police Department said "Reports out of Floyd County KY say multiple law enforcement officers have been shot and the scene is still active. Please pray for our brothers tonight as they will surely need them."

Louisville nonprofit Supporting Heroes said in a Facebook post that multiple officers had been shot in the line of duty.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the men and women of law enforcement in southeastern Kentucky and their families as multiple officers have been shot in the line of duty," Supporting Heroes said. "Multiple air medical and ground ambulances are en route to the community of Allen, Kentucky."

The Magoffin County Sheriff's Department also shared their support on Facebook, saying "Our hearts are heavy tonight."

"We would like to ask that you please pray for our fellow law enforcement officers and first responders who are dealing with the critical situation in Allen," the post continued. "Each day when an officer goes out, he never knows if he is going to make it back home. These are special people with a desire to put others lives ahead of their own."

Probably some kind of drug bust. That area of Kentucky was Ground Zero for OxyContin a few years ago. Maybe it still is.

Sorry to hear about this, and I hope everyone makes it.

Keep this in mind when reading that other article a little
while ago stating that 25.0% of the public wants to get
hostile with the government, and mentioned Conservatives.

We’ll see who was involved here. I’m not expecting it to
be Conservatives, and I wish the people who slander us
would stop.

No confirmation on anyone being killed.

Several officers have been taken to different hospitals.

Prayers up.

The commie progs have incited their brownshirts
and storm troopers again.

War on police and pregnancy centers and Normies in general.

Tantrums. Violent sociopathic tantrums. Arson, ambush, murder.

Spit.

Thanks.

I should have thought of WYMT - a local station for that area:

There is a video report there as well.

This clears up the situation.

I thought the Hazard, KY area had a local station.

Another “Domestic Situation” where someone lacked the emotional intelligence to hold it together and takes it out on their family and law enforcement and now they are going to prison.

With the ATF involved, I think I will wait until at least tomorrow to speculate. Simply because it is the ATF
