Two people, one armed with a handgun, entered the residence and demanded money from three men who were guests at the gathering, according to police. During the confrontation, one of the men was shot in the leg. Police said a second man was struck in the head with a handgun. Both men were transported to UK Hospital.
Police did not release more details about the second victim.
The nature of the gathering was not clear. Several people fled after the shooting, including the residents, Sedlaczek said.
Police caught up with a car seen leaving the scene near Tates Creek Road and Malabu Drive. Officers took five people into custody for questioning, she said.
looks like the gun packing, pistol toting, rifle slingin members of the KY unregulated militia missed a wonderful opportunity…you could have brought this guy in yourself…but noooo…somebody called 911…and instead the police did their job…you boys are very, very naughty…let’s not let this happen again…get out there and patrol the streets for us…remember…we live in a state of emergency…terrorists…criminals…come on…no time to rest…
YES THIS PLANNED CRIME IS THE FAULT OF THE NRA AND PRESIDENT BUSH. These three registered voters of the Liberal Side were forced by Society to commit this violent crime. Only the Regular Army and Local Police should be allowed to have firearms. You can count on government to protect you when you need it most. Banning all drugs and weapons will keep them out of the hands of the Liberal Criminals. Our government has won the wars against drugs, crime and poverty.
There are many missed opportunitiies. You win some, you lose some.
If the victim had been carrying a personal weapon it might not have ended this way.
Nice tats.
