Shots fired led to two arrests on attempted murder and child endangerment charges

MAYFIELD, Ky. (KBSI) – Two arrested after multiple 911 calls of shots fired.

A little after midnight on Wednesday July 26, 2023, Mayfield Police Department started receiving calls of gunshots being fired.

One home was hit with two bullets that missed a teenager sleeping in his bed by inches.

Mayfield Police Department responded to the 500 block of West Lockridge Street and conducted an investigation.

The investigation revealed that a juvenile suspect and an adult lured victims to a home on West Lockridge, where an assault took place.

During the assault, shots were fired, some striking an occupied vehicle parked outside.

One victim fled the scene on foot seeking help and eventually was transported to Jackson Purchase Emergency Room for treatment due to injuries sustained during the assault.

The victims in the vehicle fled the scene, and immediately called 911 for help.

The shooters from the home fled on foot, yet one was picked up by MPD at the home later that day and brought in for questioning.

A small child was being cared for by the suspects and was present at the time of the incident.

The investigation is ongoing.
