Troopers, deputies honored for response after I-75 shooting COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Six law enforcement officers are receiving a top award from Ohios State Highway Patrol leader for their actions in approaching a Kentucky murder suspect in a scene that shut down a highway. Four troopers and two Butler County sheriffs deputies were scheduled Monday to get the Superintendents Citation of Merit Award. A patrol spokesman says its a rare honor typically recognizing people who put their safety at risk to protect others. This case involved a man accused of kidnapping his estranged girlfriend and fatally shooting her 17-year-old son. Authorities heard gunshots while approaching the suspects stopped vehicle along Interstate 75 north of Cincinnati on Sept. 12. They found the woman dead inside. The suspect had a self-inflicted gunshot wound but survived. He pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated murder. Copyright 2015 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
