Vermont State Police are investigating after a Ludlow police officer shot and injured a man early Thursday morning at a Main Street inn.
The shooting occurred at about 6:15 a.m. at the Fox Run Inn in the Windsor County town. The man who was shot was transported to a hospital, and is in stable condition, police say.
No law enforcement officers were injured, police said.
State police have released few details about what led up to the shooting, saying the investigation remains in its early stages.
The case is being handled by detectives from the Vermont State Police Major Crime Unit and Bureau of Criminal Investigations, with assistance from uniformed troopers from the Field Force Division, the Crime Scene Search Team and the Victim Services Unit.
In accordance with standard protocol, state police said the name of the officer involved will be withheld for at least 24 hours. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be forwarded to the Vermont Attorney General’s Office and the Windsor County State’s Attorney’s Office for independent reviews of the legal justification for the use of force.
Anyone with information that could assist investigators is asked to contact the Vermont State Police barracks in Westminster at 802-722-4600 or submit an anonymous tip online at https://vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.

Ludlow doesn’t appear the same as it did just over a decade ago. It’s no longer nearly as vibrant and it seems a pale hangs over much it as you recognize storefronts empty that were once thriving businesses.
The drug trade has certainly taken an enormous toll on this state and of course the liberal policies that the state has implemented which place dangerous offenders back into society merely exacerbate what is going on.
Poor Ludlow, poor Vermont. Resurrection may never be possible at this point.
And I suppose that is just what many of the elected aimed for; it’s “equity”.
We could fill in the blanks, seeing we have nothing but a shooting to go on.
Perhaps the inn was refusing to cook him breakfast?
Partying until 6am, can only imagine what was in the persons system, did they bleed booze or heroin?
Clearly this is a police officer committing anti-Semitic arrest!
This officer will be investigated for profiling!
Maybe they were running an illegal Somali day care on the premises?
Getting calls at 6am, you know things are not going to be good, perhaps he just needed to give the person a good cup of coffee!
Ludlow needs to adopt the anti crime kiosks that Burlington has built.
Hey wait a minute, I thought all state troopers were going to be in Burlington??????
Governor Scott is going to stand by and let Ludlow figure out their crimes, he doesn’t want to be heavy handed, just make sure your business is closed during Covid, take that vacccine, but no, he doesn’t want to be heavy handed.
So many people just don’t see what’s taking place here, particularly the government leaders. Drive through any town today and you will see once pristine homes dilapidated, unkept and degraded. High taxes, expensive material costs and limited incomes are preventing people from keeping up the maintenance on their homes. All of the government regulations and fees are driving people to make hard choices of where they spend their money. Meanwhile the government is funneling millions of dollars into “affordable housing” to be built and run by nonprofits, all the while aunt Millie down the road keeps her thermostat at 62 and drives an uninspected car because of a check engine light. I predict the state is going to suffer some severe financial consequences within the next five to ten years.
I don’t have any confidence in the present administration in Montpelier taking any radical action to correct this path we’re on. Governor Scott talks and talks but when push comes to shove, he caves. He wants to be everybody’s friend. He’s the Governor, cut positions, tell the legislature if they approve another 12% increase in property taxes that he will eliminate whatever positions in the state he has to in order to level fund the budget.
It’s time for him to man up and act like a leader.
Mike I think you are confused, he is acting like a leader, the leader of the teachers union, planned parenthood, vnrc, green mountain care board, and affordable housing coalition of your choice, these are his people!
We are owned by NGOs, lobbyists, non profits and he’s doing an excellent job leading them as they wish to be lead!
You must be confused with the antiquated ideas of a republic…..we don’t play by those rules anymore.
Crime and drug dealing pay very well. Become part of the new Vermont gig economy!
