LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A shotgun-wielding man opened fire on a vehicle passing by his house in rural eastern Kentucky, wounding two people and later injuring three law enforcement officers in a shootout that ended when the gunman was fatally shot on his front porch.

“It was like Vietnam for a few minutes,” said Breathitt County Sheriff Ray Clemons, whose department assisted Kentucky State Police after the gunman shot at the two travelers on a highway near his residence close to the Breathitt-Owsley county line.
