HAROLD, Ky. (WMDJ) - One person has died after shots were fired Monday morning during a standoff in Harold.

According to Floyd County Sheriff John Hunt, the suspect, Henry Foster, 33, of Raven, Virginia, was shot during the incident, which began after 8 a.m. outside the Dollar General in the parking lot.

When troopers arrived, Foster was in possession of a firearm, threatening self-harm. Efforts to de-escalate the situation came to an end just before 10 a.m. when a trooper fired his gun, striking Foster.
