{Olive Hill, Kentucky}...A Carter County man was shot and killed by state troopers after police say he pointed a rifle at them and refused to put it down. Kentucky State Police with Post 14 in Ashland responded to a call about an armed man at a home in Olive Hill about 4:15 P.M. Wednesday. Troopers Kris Kirk and Joseph Borbeck responded to the call. When they arrived, 55 year old Kenneth Doug Dyer pointed his rifle at them and did not obey their commands to drop it. Both troopers fired, and Dyer died from at least one gunshot wound. Dyer had been released on bond Wednesday morning after being arrested Tuesday on charges of first-degree wanton endangerment for firing a weapon close to his neighbors and their homes.
