WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. (AP) — A grand jury has decided no charges are warranted against two Kentucky State Police troopers who fatally shot a Grant County man last year. Grant County Commonwealth’s Attorney Leigh Ann Roberts told The Kentucky Enquirer in an email that evidence from the November 2021 shooting of 48-year-old Gary Bressler was presented to grand jurors last week and the panel declined to return indictments. Bressler of Williamstown was pronounced dead at a hospital following the early morning shooting at his home on Nov. 3. A wrongful death lawsuit says he was holding a decorative samurai sword but was not threatening anyone with it when he was shot.
