The shooting occurred Sunday around 6:30 p.m. on Twin Fork Road in Boyd County, according to state police. KSP’s Critical Incident Response Team responded to the scene at the request of the Boyd County Sheriff’s Office and the investigation into the incident was ongoing Monday.
A man was transported to a hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries, according to a news release.
The news release did not include information about what led up to the shooting, or what officer was involved in the shooting. State police do not release details early in the investigation to “ensure the integrity of the investigation.”

KSP Captain Paul Blanton was not immediately available for comment Monday afternoon.
This was the second shooting from Sunday under investigation by KSP’s Critical Incident Response Team.
