ORIGINAL:
A Wayne County deputy was shot on Monday, according to Monticello Mayor Kenny Catron.
The mayor tells LEX 18 it happened on Carter Dock Road in Monticello on Monday afternoon and called it an "active" situation at the time.
Wayne County Emergency Management Director Sherwin Corder tells LEX 18 that the deputy likely suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The deputy was transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for treatment.
Corder says the Wayne County Sheriff's Office and city police were on scene. Mayor Catron says the Kentucky State Police's SWAT team was also on scene.
As of 9:30 p.m., KSP Post 11 says detectives have taken over the scene and that there is no longer any threat to the surrounding community. We expect a press release from KSP on Tuesday morning providing more information.
This is a developing story. Stay with LEX 18 as we learn more information.
