An investigation was underway in Kentucky following a fatal officer-involved shooting that occurred on Monday. The incident took place at a home in Laurel County, where police mistakenly went to the wrong address while attempting to serve a search warrant. Douglas Harless, 63, was shot and killed by a London police officer on Vanzant Road, according to Kentucky State Police. Initial reports did not clarify whether Harless was armed, but three days after the shooting, London police stated that Harless "produced a firearm and pointed it at officers." During the encounter, an officer from the London Police Department shot Harless. Dispatch audio obtained by reporters revealed that police were attempting to serve a search warrant at 489 Vanzant Road, not 511 Vanzant Road, where the shooting occurred. |
