LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A man is dead after he was shot by an off-duty Jeffersontown police officer late Tuesday morning.
It happened around 11:25 a.m. in the 10000 block of Robsion Road, near Chambers Way and Billtown Road, according to Jeffersontown Police Chief Rick Sanders. During a news briefing Tuesday afternoon, Sanders said police received several phone calls about a man "knocking out windows and acting strangely."
An off-duty officer in the area responded to the scene and confronted the individual, before at least one shot was fired, killing the suspect, who has not yet been identified. The officer, who was not injured, then called for backup on his radio.
