A suspect is in custody after multiple shooting incidents occurred in Radcliff.
Dante T. Patterson faces charges of Attempted Murder, Wanton Endangerment, Assault, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, and Possession of a Handgun by a Convicted Felon following his arrest Saturday.
According to a post on the City of Radcliff Government Facebook page, officers with the Radcliff Police Department responded to Braxton Court for a call of reported gunfire. That call was followed by another call.
“We received a call of a shooting in the south part of the city,” said Detective Kenneth Mattingly with the RPD. “Officers responded and obtained a vehicle description, and shortly after they cleared from that scene we received a call of another shooting in another part of town involving the same vehicle.”
Witnesses at the scene of the second shooting report also gave officers a vehicle description, and while searching for the suspect vehicle reports of additional shootings were made to the RPD.
“Ultimately, the driver was located, and he was placed under arrest and has been charged with a few offenses right now, but there are multiple other charges that are coming, and multiple scenes that we are still in the process of processing,” Mattingly said.
Mattingly says one person was injured in the shootings. The victim was transported by helicopter to the University of Louisville Hospital, where they still were as of Saturday evening.
Patterson was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center. He is scheduled to appear for video arraignment in Hardin District Court Monday.
