BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — Two Kentucky police officers were shot and injured early Wednesday at a mental health center.
The officers were being treated at a hospital for injuries not considered life-threatening, according to Ronnie Ward, a Bowling Green police spokesperson.
The shooting happened at LifeSkills Adult Crisis Stabilization Unit, according WKBO-TV. The center treats patients with serious mental illnesses, its website says.
No other information on the shooting was immediately available. The Kentucky State Police are investigating. A message seeking comment from state police was not immediately returned.
Ward told WKBO that the officers are going to recover.
