\nThe suspect in an officer-involved shooting on Bardstown Road has been identified.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, 36-year-old Winthrop Taylor was arrested on Friday, December 19, after an officer-involved shooting on Bardstown Road that began with an alleged carjacking.<\/p>\n
Taylor is accused of approaching a woman at around 11:30 p.m. with a gun and initiating a carjacking.<\/p>\n
Arrest records state that later in the night, Taylor pulled up next to another driver at a gas station before firing at him several times.<\/p>\n
The victim fled the scene in his car, prompting Taylor to follow him in the stolen vehicle.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the victim found two officers in the 3000 block of Bardstown Road conducting an unrelated traffic stop, and pulled up to them.<\/p>\n
As the victim drove up, Taylor fired multiple times at the victim and two officers before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n
After a car chase that concluded with an on-foot pursuit, Taylor was taken into custody.<\/p>\n
During questioning, Taylor admitted to driving two separate cars, that had been reported stolen at gunpoint, that night.<\/p>\n
Taylor is being charged with attempted murder of a first responder, attempted murder, robbery, unlawful imprisonment, fleeing police and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n
During his arraignment Saturday morning, he entered a plea of not guilty and he is being held in the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections under a $150,000 cash bond.<\/p>\n
Taylor is expected back in court on December 29.
