HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — Police at Northern Kentucky University say an 18-year-old man who fired a gunshot in a dormitory has been charged with attempted murder.

Campus police say the man, Timothy A. Stone, got into a fight with another man in a female student’s room in James P. Callahan Residence Hall. The Kentucky Enquirer reports that the other man, Jody Wright, an ex-boyfriend of the student, was not hurt.

Witnesses told police that Stone, who is from Cincinnati, pulled a .25-caliber pistol out during the struggle and fired. The bullet went out a window.

University Police Chief Harold Todd says Wright, also not a student, wrested the gun from Stone, and then the two men and the female student fled. Todd says Wright threw the gun in the Ohio River.

The university says the female student is facing school disciplinary charges.

A University of Kentucky student injured early Saturday near campus, possibly during a fight, was listed in critical condition at UK Hospital Tuesday.

Police received a call from one of the parents of Blair Smith, 19, on Monday saying the young man had been intentionally struck with a bottle outside 328 Aylesford Place early Saturday.

Lexington police responded to reports of an altercation about 2:45 a.m. Saturday in the street near 328 Aylesford. The crowd in the street dispersed before officers could take any reports, Officer Ann Gutierrez, a Lexington police spokeswoman, said.

But police later received a call about an injured man less than a mile from the location of the original call on Aylesford, on the 500 block of Euclid Avenue. That’s where police found Smith, who was transported to UK Hospital. It’s unclear how Smith got from Aylesford to Euclid, Gutierrez said.

The person who called police about 3:30 a.m. to Euclid Avenue was not a witness to the altercation, Gutierrez said. And, after talking to Smith, police could not determine what happened.

A first-degree assault report was filed when one of Smith’s parents called police Monday after the parent had talked to some of Smith’s friends about what happened, Gutierrez said.

No arrests have been made.

Anyone with information about this incident should contact Lexington police at (859) 258-3700.
