On July 28th at approximately 1:45 p.m., officers responded to a reported shooting at the Worthington Glen Apartments. Upon arrival, officers located a 21-year-old female and a 21-year-old male lying on the ground in the parking lot outside one of the apartment buildings. Both individuals had sustained gunshot wounds. Emergency personnel administered life-saving measures at the scene. The male was airlifted to a trauma center, and the female was transported by ground ambulance to a local hospital. As of July 29th, both individuals remain in serious condition.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the male and female were acquaintances. The male allegedly forced entry into the apartment where the female was and assaulted her. He then took her phone and exited the residence. After driving through the parking lot, he returned to the area where the female was standing. The female reportedly yelled for him to return her phone. The male then parked his vehicle, exited, and allegedly assaulted her again. The confrontation escalated, resulting in the female discharging a handgun and striking the male. Shortly afterward, the male returned fire, striking the female.
No other individuals were injured during the incident. Detectives collected physical evidence and interviewed multiple witnesses at the scene. This remains an active and ongoing investigation.
