Shooting Ruled Stray-Bullet Incident
{Flatwoods, Kentucky}...Police have determined a shooting Thursday afternoon that injured a worker at the Oakmont Manor in Flatwoods was a stray-bullet incident. Flatwoods Police Chief Tom Haynes says investigators were able to trace the path of a second bullet that struck a vehicle in the Oakmont Manor parking lot to an area on a ridge in Raceland, directly across from Oakmont Manor, where they found about 50 spent shell casings of five different calibers. Haynes says the area from which the shots were fired was 200 to 250 yards from the nursing home. Police located two 18-year-old men believed to have been the ones who did the shooting, Haynes says one of them turned the weapons over to police for examination. The police department is turning its findings over to the office of Greenup Commonwealth’s Attorney Cliff Duvall to determine whether charges should be filed.
