HARDIN, KY — The suspect involved in a shooting in Hardin, Kentucky, remains at large Wednesday night. On Wednesday morning, the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office got a 911 call about a shooting at the Hilldale Apartments on Hilldale Lane.
There was one man injured; he had to be airlifted to Baptist Health Hospital in Paducah after he was shot in the wrist. Some neighbors who live in the apartments say the shooting happened right between the breezeway of two apartments.
Detectives confirmed on Wednesday that a crew from WK&T, a local telecommunications company, was setting up something in one of these apartments.
Detective Samantha Mighell with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department says they don’t have a description of a suspect just yet. “They’re not 100% certain. From what we heard, he heard the shot and then felt that he had been shot, and as far as anything else about the suspect, we’re still looking into that,” she said.
Mighell added that the victim is okay; he sustained serious injuries, but they were not life-threatening.
Detective Mighell also said that they do believe the area is safe, but they have increased patrols.
“It’s not like we have any concerns that there would be someone out there trying to hurt people just randomly; that’s not what our initial investigation is leaning toward,” she said.
Mighell asked that if you have any additional information to call the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department and say you have information about this case.
