    Three police dead in Kentucky while serving domestic violence warrant.

Authorities reported that a man armed with a rifle opened fire on cops attempting to serve a warrant in eastern Kentucky, killing three and injuring five.

After an hours-long standoff at a residence in Allen, a small hamlet in Appalachia's hills, police reported they had taken 49-year-old Lance Storz into custody late Thursday night.

According to the arrest citation, an emergency management official was also hurt, and a police dog was killed.

The responding officers encountered “pure hell” when they arrived on the scene, Floyd county’s sheriff, John Hunt, told reporters on Friday. “They had no chance,” he said.

Hunt reported that after being fired at, four deputies responded before asking for help. According to the sheriff, a suspect surrendered after speaking with members of his family. Hunt informed local reporters Thursday evening that deputies were serving a court-issued warrant related to a domestic violence case.

Storz was arraigned by a court in Pike County on Friday morning. He pled not guilty to two charges of murdering a police officer and was sentenced to life in prison on a $10 million bond.

One of the accusations was the attempted murder of a police officer, but a judge said during the hearing that it was increased to murder. He is also charged with attempted murder and assault on a service animal. State police had said in a brief statement that they were investigating an officer-involved shooting.

“This is a tough morning for our commonwealth,” the governor, Andy Beshear, said in a social media post on Friday morning. “Floyd county and our brave first responders suffered a tragic loss last night. I want to ask all of Kentucky to join me in praying for this community.”

Today we're facing some tragic news. Last night we lost two brave first responders and a K-9 in Floyd County. Britainy and I are praying for the families of those lost, those injured and the entire Allen community. These heroes sacrificed everything to protect our people. ^AB

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron offered his condolences for the officers' deaths on social media. “Our law enforcement exhibited unimaginable heroism and sacrifice last night in the face of evil,” he said.
