According to authorities, a Kentucky police officer who was wounded in a shooting is in stable condition. The suspect is still on the run.

Louisville Metro Police Chief Steven Conrad said Officer Kyle Carrol was struck in the chest, and was wearing a bullet-proof vest at the time. Conrad also reports Carrol was taken to Louisville University Hospital.
