KSP Trooper Killed In Shooting, KSP Actively Seeking Suspect
(Eddyville, KY)- The Kentucky State Police is currently seeking a suspect in the shooting death of a KSP Trooper.
On Sunday, September 13, 2015 at approximately 10:20 P.M CST, Trooper Joseph Cameron Ponder conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 24 around the 58 mile marker westbound. After making contact with the driver, the vehicle fled from the stop. A pursuit ensued with the suspect stopping abruptly around the 49 mile marker, causing the front of Trooper Ponder’s police cruiser to make contact with the rear of the suspect vehicle. At this time, the driver of the suspect vehicle fired several shots into the police cruiser striking the hood, windshield and Trooper Ponder multiple times. The suspect fled the scene on foot.
Trooper Ponder was transported via ambulance to the Caldwell Medical Center in Princeton, KY where he succumbed to his injuries at 11:41 P.M. CST.
The suspect has been identified as Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks, 25, of Missouri. He is described as a black male approximately 5’5”, 140 pounds, brown eyes and black hair. He was last seen wearing dark clothing. If anyone makes contact with the suspect, dial 911. He should be considered armed and dangerous.
Trooper Ponder, 31, was a native of Rineyville, KY. Upon graduation from the KSP Training Academy in January 2015, he was stationed at Post 1, Mayfield and assigned to Trigg County.
The investigation is continuing by the KSP. Multiple agencies are assisting with the investigation. Release on: September. 14, 2015

These bastards need to be killed instantly......RIP Trooper
More blood on the hands of the Obama crime syndicate, their enablers in the media, and the 65 million voters who put them in power.
Sunrise in about 15 minutes.
God bless this trooper - he graduated from the academy in January.
Live, on-scene report on Fox “News” soon.

Kelly Ponder Thank you for all the kind words. My brother was the best man in the world and did not deserve what happened to him. Please pray for us, this was an enormous loss. #Heartbroken

My wife’s best friend from college has lived in Rineyville for many years, she probably knows this KSP officer, or his parents. It isn’t very big.
Need to have a good talk with suspect’s family.
Ping. Is there a KY ping list?
NOT sure if this is legit “Suspect in custody.”
A Nashville station has picked up the story.

Also Louisville
http://www.wave3.com/story/30021401/ksp-trooper-shot-and-killed-on-i-24-in-lyon-co-manhunt-underway
The latter story says they’ve closed a section of I-24 for the manhunt.
Thank you. Lyon Co KY police scanner hs more talking, but nothing like last night http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/10742/web
Shanks is a Navy veteran. Pulled a very good move by taking off and the suddenly stopping causing the trooper to rear end his vehicle. Troopers airbags went off, stunning him and blinding him and making him an easy kill. Suspect needs to be summarily dealt with. His family needs to be visited with a very serious plan in mind.
