周四晚上在肯塔基州 Prestonsburg 市一个居民区发生枪战，三名警察和一只警犬被杀，至少有四名其他警察受伤。肯塔基州警方称，死者为 Prestonsburg 警察队长 Ralph Frasure 和副警长 William Petry 以及 K9 Drago 和 驯犬员 Jacob Chaffins。两名警察在晚上 7 点前不久到达 49 岁 Lance Storz 的家向他送达逮捕令，却遭他手持步枪开枪击中，随后在 Storz 家中发生枪战后，嫌犯遭拘留。
Floyd County 警长 John Hunt 周五告诉记者，来自不同司法管辖区的其他警察也前往现场支持，至少有四人受伤。Storz 因家庭暴力罪被通缉，最终使用整个家里预先部署的枪枝发射了数百发子弹。州警方表示，至少有四名警察和一名平民在枪战中受伤，但逮捕报告称五名警察和一名平民受伤，伤者的情况目前尚不清楚。警方称，Storz 被指控犯有多项谋杀警察、企图谋杀警察和袭击服务性动物的罪名。他在 7 月 11 日的法庭听证会之前被拘留，保证金为 1,000 万美元。
