The Elizabethtown Fire Department responded to a fire alarm
activation at Flex Film Corporation located on North Black Branch Road at 6:26 AM. While
units were in route, dispatch advised that there was a fire in the building. A
fire had started in the boiler room of the facility, but the sprinkler systems
had kept the fire in check. Responders extinguished the fire using hoses from
the trucks.
More details have been released regarding the officer-involved
shooting that took place early Thursday morning. As previously reported, the
Radcliff Police Department responded to 101 Navaho Drive on reports of an armed
robbery. Upon officer’s arrival, they discovered an individual wielding a knife
outside of the residence. The suspect failed to obey the officer’s orders to
drop the knife, and began to charge two of the officers, who then discharged
their service weapons striking the individual multiple times. The subject was
taken to Hardin Memorial Hospital,
and then was later flown to University of Louisville Hospital with
non-life-threatening injuries. The two officers involved were placed on
administrative leave. Charges are forthcoming regarding the robbery.
