Governor Steve Beshear has ordered that state flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff today in honor of Marion County Sheriff's Deputy Anthony Rakes. The Deputy died this week after being shot during a routine traffic stop in Marion County.
Authorities have lifted an evacuation order for homes near an area where crews are cleaning up after a train derailed. The Courier-Journal reports that residents were allowed to return to their homes Thursday night and that Dixie Highway, which had been closed, was reopened.
