Just after 7 p.m. Monday (07/31), deputies responded to the 700 block of Dan Road in Horse Branch for a call involving a man with a gun.
When law enforcement officials arrived, they watched 43 year-old David R. Sandefur, Jr. run into the woods armed with a shotgun.
Officials say Ohio County Deputy Kelsey Embry was staged on the other side of the woods when she was confronted by Sandefur.
According to a press release, Deputy Embry fired multiple rounds from her patrol rifle, striking Sandefur several times.
Sandefur was flown to a hospital in Nashville where he later died. The sheriff’s office confirms Deputy Embry was not injured.
The investigation is ongoing by the Kentucky State Police.
