WALTON, Ky. — The chaos of Thursday night's shooting scene in Walton quickly turned to quiet by Friday morning, as neighbors at Towne Creek Crossing continued to process what happened.

Sheriff's deputies were serving a felony warrant regarding overdue child support to 39-year-old Justin Chapman around 10 p.m. on Aug. 28 when a Boone County Sheriff's spokesperson said they were met with "heavy gunfire."

According to the spokesperson on Friday, the two deputies who were shot continue to improve with one discharged from the hospital.

"They're very brave for what they do. They put their lives on the line every single day," said Josh Steele, a neighbor and witness. "My heart goes out to their families. I'm hoping and praying for a speedy recovery. Those guys are awesome in my book."
