NELSON COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — One man is dead following an afternoon officer-involved shooting in Nelson County, Kentucky State Police reports.
According to police, an investigation reveals that a man contacted 911 just before 4 p.m. Monday, advising that his son, 37-year-old Terry Carney, was at his residence and was "firing a weapon in a threatening manner."
