Prestonsburg Police Capt. Ralph Frasure was also killed, and Prestonsburg officer Jacob Chaffins died the next day of gunshot wounds. Four other officers were wounded.<\/p>\n<p>Hunt said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/memphis-police-seek-persons-interest-shooting-left-1-dead-10-others-wounded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one of his deputies injured in the shooting<\/a> would never get to see Storz face justice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have a deputy who\u2019s wounded for life, and I\u2019m sure he wanted the chance to look this guy in the eye in court, and he\u2019s been cheated of that,&#8221; Hunt said.<\/p>\n<p>Police went to the house in the community of Allen after a family member said Storz\u2019s wife was being abused and held in the home against her will, according to the sheriff&#8217;s office. The wife was waiting for officers when they arrived, telling the officers Storz was asleep, so she was able to get outside. Four officers, including Petry, returned to serve a protective order against Storz.
