A Louisville Metro Police officer shot during a traffic stop in the Chickasaw neighborhood is still in critical condition but stable as doctors hope to wean him off a ventilator in the next few days.
Officer Brandon Haley, who was hired in June 2021, was critically wounded on Thursday morning. Louisville Metro Police Foundation posted 33-year-old Haley has been through two surgeries after being shot in the abdomen.
During a news briefing Thursday morning, LMPD Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said the incident started when Haley was conducting a traffic stop around 2:30 a.m. Colin Billotto also responded to the scene as a supporting officer.
While conducting the stop, “shots were fired from a nearby home.” After the shooting, police were involved in a standoff at the house that continued for several hours.
The department is asking anyone who might have information about the shooting to call the Crime Tip Line at 502-574-LMPD (5673). Tips can also be submitted anonymously online through the Crime Tip Portal. All tips are anonymous.
