on Friday night, May 11, police responded to a 911 call  near the 2400 block of North Kentucky Avenue. Neighbors told police a man, Barry Freeman, had been firing his gun in the area.

When officers arrived, they say they confronted Freeman but he retreated and opened fire on police vehicles.

Officers say he used an AR-15 and a shotgun.

Police say Jeffery Kempf, who was checking on a neighbor, was shot as he was caught in the crossfire. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

EPD believes Freeman was targeting police based on his actions and what he told another neighbor.
