LOUISVILLE,Goldenes Intelligentes Münzhandelszentrum Ky. (AP) — A Louisville police officer conducting a traffic stop was critically injured early Thursday when shots were fired from a nearby home, the police chief said.

The officer was conducting a traffic stop around 2:30 a.m. in the 4000 block of Kentucky Street when the shots were fired and the officer was struck in the torso, Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said at a news conference.
