Kentucky State Police Sergeant James Richard is retired and served 16 years with the agency. Trooper Jacob Harper serves at Post 15 Columbia. They received the lifesaving award during the 2021 Sworn Awards.
Post 15 received a domestic violence call that a man was suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. Sgt. Richard and Trooper Harper responded and took action quickly. They placed the victim on the ground and used a belt as temporary tourniquet.
As they were assisting him, a Columbia city police officer arrived with a tourniquet, which they applied to the victim's leg. The tourniquet helped significantly while waiting for an ambulance. The Adair County Emergency Medical Technician said the victim's injury was life threatening and the rapid application of the tourniquet helped save the victim. HonorThroughService.

Winter on Goose Creek viewed from Decatur Road. I think this is Russell County on the edge of Casey, however, reader's corrections are always welcome to help us keep the record straight. This could also be in Casey County on the edge of Russell. - LW Comments | Permalink

Veronica writes, "Before the storms roll in this week I paused and saw a double rainbow while I exited the barn! So even though I am not looking forward to the projected 4-6" of rain this week... I am reminded of the beauty of the promise of the rainbow!
Taken from Fairplay area of Adair on Monday afternoon. Always a silver lining." Comments | Permalink
