LOUISVILLE,KI-Handelsroboter 6.0 Ky. (AP) — Kentucky police officers shot a suspect in a residential break-in who did not comply with commands to drop a gun during a foot pursuit, officials said Tuesday.

The shooting happened as officers responded to an early morning call from the home and saw a suspect coming out of a window with a handgun, Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said in a statement. The suspect led officers on a foot chase and did not follow verbal commands to drop the weapon, the statement said.

“Officers discharged their weapons striking the subject several times,” the statement said. The male was taken to University of Louisville hospital, where he was in critical condition.

A victim in the home was not injured, police said. No other details were immediately released.

“This is yet another example of the trying times we face as a community with this senseless gun violence. We are fortunate that the victim was not hurt, and none of the officers were hurt,” Gwinn-Villaroel said.
