Crofton man dies following return-fire after allegedly shooting at Christian County law enforcement, troopers say

CROFTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — An overnight shooting involving a Crofton man and deputies with the Christian County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is under investigation by the Kentucky State Police Department (KSP).

The sheriff’s office asked troopers with Post 3 in Madisonville to investigate an officer-involved shooting that happened around 12:30 a.m. Sunday on Clark Store Sinking Fork Road in Crofton, per a news release.

The initial investigation reportedly showed that deputies were responding to a physical domestic violence complaint in the area when Patrick Martinez, 39, of Crofton, allegedly started shooting at them.

“Deputies returned fire with their agency-issued firearms striking the suspect,” KSP told FOX 56 News.

State police said Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting investigation remains ongoing.
