KSP: Man shot in Knox Co.

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. (WTVQ) — On June 20, KPS reports that they received a call about a man who had been shot.

Troopers and Deputies from the Knox County Sheriff’s Department were sent to Turner Loop Road in Barbourville, Knox co. just before midnight.

Police say they arrived to find Barbourville resident Ford Collett had been shot, apparently by Jason Marsee. Initial investigation, police say, shows that Collett entered Marsee’s home, and an altercation ensued. Collett was taken to the hospital by EMS with a single gunshot wound.

 Marsee was arrested at the scene, regarding an outstanding warrant KSP says is not related to this incident. His case will go in front of the Knox County Grand Jury, though he has not presently been charged for the shooting.
