A woman is in critical condition following a triple shooting that occurred early Sunday morning in Lexington, Kentucky. The incident took place around 4 a.m. on the 900 block of Winchester Road.
Responding to multiple reports of a shooting, law enforcement officials arrived at the scene and found the woman suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. In addition to her, two men had self-transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries also resulting from gunfire. During the incident, a nearby vehicle was also damaged by stray bullets.
Local authorities have launched an ongoing investigation into the incident and are encouraging members of the public to come forward with any information that could assist in resolving the case. Detectives from the Lexington Police Department are available for contact at 859-258-3600 for tips, while anonymous tips can be submitted to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers at 859-253-2020 or through their website.
This shooting incident is separate from another violent event that occurred later the same day, approximately 7 hours later, when a suspect opened fire at a church on Richmond Road. The church shooting involved Kentucky State Police, leading to a dangerous situation where two women lost their lives, and two men sustained injuries, with one in critical condition and the other in stable status. Law enforcement responded to this situation quickly, resulting in the suspect being fatally shot by police.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear addressed both the shooting incidents, emphasizing the ongoing violence in the community and calling for prayers for the victims and their families. He also expressed gratitude for the prompt response of law enforcement personnel involved in managing the crises.
As investigations continue into both shootings, the communities affected are left grappling with the violence that has transpired in a short time. Authorities are focused on ensuring justice is served for all victims while assessing the broader implications of rising violence.
The Lexington Police Department is committed to providing updates as new information becomes available throughout the investigation and has reaffirmed their determination to ensure the safety and well-being of residents. Community members are urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to help maintain public safety.
