FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - The man accused of killing three officers and a police K-9 during an ambush-style shooting has died.
Floyd County Commonwealth’s Attorney Brent Turner tells WKYT Lance Storz committed suicide Tuesday morning in the Pike County Detention Center.
Storz was accused of killing three officers, a police K-9, and injuring four others in the June 2022 shooting in Allen, Kentucky.
While the victims and families won’t have to relive and endure a painful trial, they tell us they were robbed of the chance to lay their burdens squarely on the accused.
