Our law enforcement exhibited unimaginable heroism and sacrifice last night in the face of evil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The shooting, which happened in the eastern Kentucky town of Allen, is still under investigation by Kentucky State Police though the suspect has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/allen-kentucky-shooting-lance-storz-arrested\/\">detained<\/a> on a $10 million bond in a Pike County jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Storz allegedly fired at police from his home with a rifle, killing two officers and injuring six others including five police officers. An emergency management official was injured and a police dog was also killed during the incident. At least one of the wounded officers was on life support at the hospital after being revived.\u00a0The injured officers were taken to various local hospitals for treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The night of the shooting, Governor Andy Beshear (D-KY) asked for prayers for those killed or wounded in the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFloyd County and our brave first responders suffered a tragic loss last night. I want to ask all of Kentucky to join me in praying for this community.

Those people were not just police officers. I think that gets lost a lot of times, in media across the country. You hear about something happening in another state.
