\nA suspect was shot and killed after he pulled out a gun and pointed it at two U.S. Marshals during a traffic stop in Louisville Wednesday (2\/10) morning.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Marshals Service said the Western Kentucky Fugitive Task Force was attempting to take 41 year-old Timothy Vessels into custody in the 6400 block of Ladd Avenue just before Noon.<\/p>\n
Vessels, who was in the passenger seat of the vehicle, refused to comply with commands and pointed a firearm at deputies, according to the Marshals Service. Two U.S. Marshals fired at Vessels in response to the threat.<\/p>\n
Vessels was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
At the time of the shooting Vessels was on federal supervised release with pending violations and was wanted in Jefferson County for possession of a firearm and forced burglary.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Marshals Service said Vessels has a criminal history that includes arrests for federal narcotics violations and possession\/sale of firearms.<\/p>\n
A woman who was with Vessels was taken into custody on active warrants.<\/p>\n
The Marshals office is the lead agency on the case. LMPD is assisting them. LMPD’s public integrity unit is also part of the investigation.
