A shooting at the Washington County stockyard in Springfield, Kentucky, left 53-year-old Shane E. Thomason of Lancaster dead. Deputies responded in the late afternoon of a Monday and found Thomason with a gunshot wound; he was taken to University Hospital but did not survive. An autopsy at the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville confirmed a fatal gunshot wound as the cause of death.

The Kentucky State Police opened an investigation into the killing. Investigators later arrested and charged a man in connection with the shooting, and the case was transferred to the judicial system for prosecution. Few other details about motive or the events leading up to the shooting have been released.
