Tiny Kentucky town is rocked as their sheriff is jailed in the killing of a prominent judge

Residents of a tiny Appalachian town are struggling to cope with a shooting involving two of its most prominent citizens: a Kentucky judge who was gunned down in his courthouse chambers and the local sheriff charged with his murder. Kentucky State Police say the preliminary investigation indicates Letcher County Sheriff “Mickey” Stines shot District Judge Kevin Mullins multiple times following an argument. Mullins died at the scene and Stines surrendered. He was jailed Friday two counties away. Court Clerk Mike Watts said the whole story is sad. He says both men were friends who worked together for years.
