Officials: Man dead after standoff with Kentucky police
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities say a Kentucky man has died in a standoff with law enforcement officers.
Multiple media outlets report that Johnson County Sheriff Dwayne Price says deputies responded to reports Monday night of a man acting suspiciously in a front yard. Price says they found a man with a Bible walking around and looking up at the sky.
The sheriff says the man tried to fight a deputy and ran into a house after being shocked with a stun gun. Kentucky State Police were then called in and a shootout ensued. A special response team sent a robot into the home when the barricaded man stopped responding to officers and found him dead.
