The suspect, George Ruby, was shot and killed by another officer, according to a report by www.kypost.com. The shooting occurred at the Mt. Orab Police Department around 4 a.m. Sunday. Officer Conley was reportedly shot in the back as he went outside to get something from his cruiser. Ruby had been arrested on an OVI (operating a vehicle while impaired) charge for allegedly drinking and driving.
