Kentucky State Police are investigating a Christmas Day assault on a corrections officer at the Kentucky State Prison in Eddyville.  According to a news release, the officer was assaulted by several inmates around 8:45 am.

Investigators say the five inmates orchestrated a gang attack on the officer by using a weapon in the commons area.  The officer was taken to an area hospital for treatment.  KSP will present its findings to a Lyon County grand jury once the investigation is completed due to incarceration status of the suspects.

A traffic accident involving a vehicle and a buggy took place Tuesday morning in Graves County.  The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says it occurred on Kentucky 80 intersection near the south end of Mayfield.  No other details are known.

The Hopkinsville Water Environment Authority reports a water shortage due to high demands of water.  HWEA general manager Derrick Watson tells WKUZ Radio they feel like the problem with high water use is due to a number of leaks in the system.  Watson says customers may continue to use water but are asked to conserve.
