They police are investigating A
carjacking that turned deadly.
This was the scene Monday in
the Portland neighborhood level.
Metro police say an undercover
officer was involved in that shooting.
We've got Jim joining us now live
here in the studio to go over
the details of the shooting gym.
Yeah, that's right.
Eric and Haley, it all happened
around 22nd and Griffiths Ave.
That's where police say that
they had a couple of under
uncover officers at the time.
Now you can see on the map right
here exactly where that area is.
We're told that those two undercover
officers were staking out a house
as part of a non fatal shooting.
Constigation Police say that just
before 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon,
2 suspects came up to those undercover
officers in their unmarked car
and attempted to carjack them.
One of the officers in that vehicle fired
his weapon and hit one of the suspects.
Interim Police Chief Jacqueline Quinn
via Roel later told us the shooting
victim was a white man in his 20s and
the officer who fired his weapon was
a 10 year veteran of the department.
One of the officers shot the
suspect with his service weapon.
Officers immediately rendered aid
and attempted to perform life saving
measures on the individual. The
suspect was taken to the
hospital and he later died.
Right now, Kentucky State Police
are going to be overseeing that
investigation and that is standard
protocol when there is an officer
involved shooting within a department.
Now I mentioned those undercover
officers were staking out a house
as part of a completely different
investigation and we learned after
this shooting that they did in
fact make an arrest in that case.
More about that coming up in
the next half hour.
Eric Paley.
All right, Jim, thank you.
Now to an update on some breaking
news that we first brought to you
on GMK yesterday involving a semi
crashing into an ambulance downtown.
We've learned there was a teenager
inside that ambulance who
police say helped steal a car.
So let's walk you through this early Monday.
Kentucky State Police tell us
three teenagers led Bullitt County
officers on a chase in a stolen
car which ended in a fiery crash.
One of those teenagers was being
rushed to a Louisville hospital
in the back of an ambulance.
Well, at 3:30 that ambulance
was hit on E Chestnut St.
in downtown Louisville by a
semi that was coming off of the
Brook Street exit of I-65.
The impact caused a 60 year old paramedic
to be thrown out of the ambulance.
The last check,
that paramedic was in the ICU
with life threatening injuries.
He's just dedicated his life
to EMS and it's very somber.
Just everybody thinking and keeping
keeping those injured in their minds.
The ambulance driver, a 32 year old EMT,
was also treated for minor injuries.
He was released from the hospital last night.
Details on the teenager
involved in both crashes.
Including their name and condition,
have not been released.
Right now, a woman is still on the run.
Jeffersonville police are trying to
find the grandmother they say killed
her granddaughter Friday night.
Take a look at these pictures
right here of Lisa Tash.
Police say surveillance video shows
her running over a toddler at the
Motel 6 just off I-65 in Eastern Blvd.
Police also released a photo of the
car they believe she's driving.
It's a white Chevy Trailblazer
with Kentucky plates.
The plate number is a 9Z280.
Cash is considered armed and dangerous,
so if you see her,
call 911 immediately.
604 Now local Metro police are
looking for the person who shot two
people in the Russell neighborhood.
Police say two men were shot
near S 16th and West Market
streets around 8:00 last night.
Both men were taken to a local
hospital and are expected to survive.
Investigators are trying to find
out if the two men knew each other.
Do you have any information
about the shooting?
You're urged to call Lmpd's
anonymous tip line at 574 LMPD.
We're learning more about a
couple killed in a motorcycle
crash in Newburgh on Friday.
Makayla Logston, whose photos you're
seeing right now, and Brandon Self,
died when police say they speed
through a red light and hit an SUV.
Makayla leaves behind a three-year old son.
Her friends tell us why this
tragedy hits especially hard for
the local motorcycle community.
It's tough because she had asked me to
go riding and I couldn't go, I think.
Could it have been all three of us?
Or because I am a new rider,
would they have held back because
they would have never left me behind?
So I have a lot of emotions about it.
I mean, it just is what
it is, you know, Michaela
and Brandon's friends are selling
these motorcycle and car decals that
you see on your screen to help raise
money for their funeral expenses.
If you'd like to purchase one,
we have you linked up on our website,
whs11.com. The Nelson County Fire and
Rescue team is investigating a trailer

estimated value of $750,000.
