PADUCAH, Ky. (LEX 18) — Kentucky State Police are investigating a pursuit that ended with the death of a 26-year-old by an apparent self-inflicted gunshot after firing at officers in McCracken County.

A release from the Kentucky State Police says that the incident began shortly after 8 p.m. when a Marshall County Sheriff's Office deputy observed a pickup truck with a camper "being operated in a reckless manner" with a flat tire. The deputy attempted a traffic stop with the vehicle in the area of Hardmoney Road in Paducah.

The truck, being driven by Robert Wray from Kevil, continued down Hardmoney Road, and a pursuit began. While driving on Hardmoney Road, the camper disconnected from the truck, and the truck continued fleeing from the deputy, KSP says.
