\nA central Kentucky police chief says an officer has shot a suspect who refused to drop a weapon that turned out to be a pellet gun.<\/p>\n
Georgetown Police Chief Mike Bosse said that officers responding early Monday to a domestic disturbance ordered the suspect, 29 year-old Stephen C. Young, to drop what appeared to be a handgun. Bosse said that instead Young pointed the weapon at officers, and one officer fired.<\/p>\n
Bosse said Young was hit twice and taken to the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries. No officers were injured. The chief said Young is charged with assault.<\/p>\n
He said the officer will be on administrative leave until he’s ready to return to duty. The shooting remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
