Kentucky State Police investigating deadly shooting in Hardinsburg

Kentucky State Police said they are investigating a deadly shooting reported Monday evening in Hardinsburg. In a news release distributed through a local station, KSP said the incident was reported at 6:30 p.m. at 2944 KY 79, a location in/near Hardinsburg, as troopers began investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.

KSP identified the reported address as the point where the shooting was reported and said the investigation remained active. Investigators have not, in the information provided here, described the events leading up to the gunfire or released details on any potential motive.

A photo released with the report shows Patrick Michael Sisco, age 37, of Yosemite, Kentucky, who KSP said was arrested in connection with the investigation. The report did not specify the charges or the exact legal basis for the arrest in the information provided.

KSP’s role in the case indicates state-level investigators are handling the matter rather than limiting the work to local authorities. The investigation’s next steps would typically include collecting physical evidence, reviewing witness and video information if available, and determining what charges, if any, should be filed based on the findings.

Because the available account focuses on the reported time, location, and the arrest, additional details about the victims, the number of people injured or killed, and how investigators linked Sisco to the incident were not included in the provided material. Officials also have not described any immediate public-safety guidance beyond the fact that the investigation is ongoing.

The case is expected to proceed through established criminal-justice processes, including any charging decisions and subsequent court proceedings if prosecutors file charges. Until more information is released by KSP or court records are updated, the public description of the incident may remain limited to the reported location, timing, and the fact of the arrest.

Residents near the incident area will likely look to further updates from KSP as investigators complete their initial review. In the meantime, officials’ communications indicate the agency is treating the matter as an active investigation rather than closing it based solely on initial reports.
