A Floyd County, Kentucky, man was arrested Thursday night after allegedly shooting seven officers, two of them fatally, then barricading himself inside his home for hours.
WKYT reports that two Floyd County Sheriff’s deputies went to Lance Storz’s home Thursday about 6:00 p.m. to serve a domestic violence order when Storz allegedly opened fire.
Backup was called in, including Kentucky State Troopers, and Storz was taken into custody at 10 p.m. He shot a total of seven law enforcement officers during the approximately four-hour time frame.
KATV notes that Storz is 49 years old.
The Courier-Journal reports that Storz was booked into Pike County Detention Facility around 4:30 a.m. Friday.
His charges included “two counts of murder of a police officer, one count of murder and an additional count of first-degree assault on a police animal.”
