Neighbors are still in disbelief and looking for answers as to why London [Kentucky] Police were at the door of 61-year-old Doug Harless the night of December 23rd.
One neighbor walked us through what they say happened that night.
“My wife looked out the back door and said, Doug’s house is all lit up. At that time, we had seen several cop cars up and down the road and I contacted his daughter. She sent her husband out here to find out that her dad was deceased. The cops had shot him.”
London Police say they were attempting to execute a search warrant at a home on Vanzant Rd. In Laurel County.
In a press release, officers say Harless pointed a gun at officers, and that’s when an officer opened fire. Harless died as a result.
“But now everything is breaking out, whether the search warrant was for 489, which is right here on this corner, two doors down from Doug. They are looking for the guy that lives there in that house for a stolen weed eater.”
Neighbors say Harless was a victim, not a criminal.

No one will be prosecuted for this. As I’ve said before. The police shoot the guilty and the innocent all the time. And they don’t get prosecuted.
They shoot anyone who violates government property. And they don’t get prosecuted.
But you shoot the wrong guy or shoot to protect your private property. You will be prosecuted.
This happened at lebanon tennessee several years ago, and no one was prosecuted it. When the police went to the wrong addtess. And shot and killed an innocent man.

The boys in blue all got home safe that night, right? That’s what’s really important. Well, that and recovering stolen weed whackers. Hell, those things go for like $200.
