HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — One person is dead and another is injured after a Tuesday morning officer-involved shooting in Trigg County.

According to a release from KSP, troopers attempted a traffic stop near the 42-mile marker on I-24 when the suspect, 21-year-old Jermaine Jackson Jr. of Florissant, Missouri, allegedly fled.

We’re told the suspect was involved in a collision near the 65-mile marker and fled from police on foot.

During the foot pursuit, authorities say the suspect began shooting at police, injuring a Trigg County deputy. They say three other deputies fired back at the suspect.
