The Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred on August 4, just after 1:00 a.m. EDT in Shelby County.
The preliminary investigation indicates the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office was requested to respond to a domestic incident at a residence located on Blackwell Road in Shelbyville.
Upon arriving at the residence, a deputy encountered a male and female outside of the residence. During the interaction, the male individual, 41 year-old Ryan McBride from Shelbyville, retrieved a firearm and began firing the gun in the direction of the deputy. At least one round struck a piece of the deputy’s equipment, resulting in minor injury. The deputy discharged his agency-issued firearm, striking McBride and causing life-threatening injuries. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Shelby County Coroner. The deputy was transported to a local hospital, where he has been treated and released.
No other injuries were reported, and the investigation remains ongoing by the Kentucky State Police.
