KSP: Update on trooper-involved shooting in Green Co.

By Captain Paul Blanton

Greensburg, KY - The Kentucky State Police (KSP) Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) continues the investigation of a trooper-involved shooting that occurred on April 9, 2022, at approximately 9:15 p.m. CDT in Green County. The preliminary investigation reveals that KSP Post 15 troopers were responding to a request for assistance from the Green County Sheriff's Office for a report of a suicidal subject.

Upon arriving at the scene, Trooper James Ford made contact with Mr. David C. Moran, 74 years old, of Greensburg, KY, and observed that he was armed with a handgun. The trooper attempted de-escalation techniques with Mr. Moran, but those efforts proved unsuccessful. Mr. Moran raised the handgun in the direction of Trooper Ford, and, in recognizing the immediate danger, Trooper Ford fired his agency-issued firearm incapacitating Mr. Moran and ending the deadly threat. Trooper Ford was soon after assisted at the scene by deputies and life-saving measures were attempted on Mr. Moran, but the wound proved fatal and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.

In accordance with KSP policies and procedures, Trooper Ford was placed on administrative leave. Trooper Ford is a three (3) year and ten (10) month veteran of the agency.

Tommy Druen: Be excellent to each other

Previous Column: Cue the final snowflake

By Tommy Druen

Every once in a while a comedy film is released that is highly quotable. It typically isn't very profound, but there is a certain genius to it that is difficult to pinpoint. The references can cause an instant bond and differentiate ages quickly.

For example, there is a certain age man that I would never say "Surely, you aren't serious" without expecting an immediate snicker thanks to Airplane!

CU: Flanagan speaks about God's calling to your life

By Daisy Rodriguez

Campbellsville, KY - "You are the salt of the earth," Matt Flanagan said as he spoke in Campbellsville University's chapel April 30.

Flanagan said we are to season the earth as in Matthew 5:13. "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot."

The verse begins with "you are" and Flanagan explains that this isn't a choice or a possibility for us. He said, instead, this is who we are. We are to season the earth as our purpose.

Letter: Family memories of 1971 tornado

Ashley Larguero writes:
JW Vance was my great grandfather. John Will, Hattie Ann, and my mom Ann was in the house untouched. While, my grandmother Emma Jean Crews at the time along with her kids was in the trailer.

My uncle Bobby was blown several feet from the trailer in a tree. Since I was old enough to remember my mother spoke of Mrs. Smith that day and how she was found. My aunt still has a scar that will remind her of that day forever. The youngest was a baby at that time and was blown from my grandmothers arms. I will try to find some pics. When my mom passed away I got several pictures and these storm were part of it.
