The victim from a shooting in Radcliff has died and a juvenile has been charged in his death. According to Radcliff Police Chief Jeff Cross, a call came in about 6:30 pm on Sunday evening of a shooting on Kingswood Way. When officers arrived, they found a male subject who had been shot and he was transported to the University of Louisville Hospital. “We took a seventeen year old juvenile into custody that was responsible for the shooting. That juvenile was charged with Attempted Murder, Assault First, Possession of a Handgun by a Minor and seven counts of Wanton Endangerment. We learned that the victim had died at University Hospital, and the charge of Attempted Murder was upgraded to Murder.  The case is still being investigated,” shared Radcliff Police Chief Jeff Cross. 
On Monday, North Hardin High School was placed on a soft lockdown. “This means that the instructional day continued as normal and special procedures were in place. As a precautionary measure, we asked for additional community support to include local law enforcement and the presence of additional officers,” stated Hardin County School Spokesperson John Wright. School officials are asking parents to remind their students to speak up if they have concerns. “We want our parents to know that our students are safe at school. and if they communicate with our parents during the school day or at home, we just ask our students’ parents to encourage their students to tell an adult if they see anything on social media or hear anything that concerns them. We always appreciate the support of our parents and community.” Activities taking place on campus Monday were canceled as a precaution. We will update this story as it develops.

The City of Elizabethtown has been monitoring the weather and has made a decision about this evening’s Lawn Party event at Freeman Lake. “We are canceling tonight’s Lawn Party at the bandstand at Freeman Lake Park. It was supposed to start at 6:00 PM. We were going to do a ribbon cutting to kind of christen the bandstand. But unfortunately, it looks like that is when the rain is going to hit. Of course, the safety of our citizens is our number one priority. And so we just did not feel it was appropriate to move forward with what we have coming in. But we’re moving tonight’s event. We’re going to add a Lawn Party in September. So all is not lost. We’re just going to not have it tonight,” said City Events Spokesperson Beth Pyles. The next concert in the series will take place in June. “It is June 21 so we hope people will make plans to attend that one. At that one, we will feature Casey and Romey and then the band The Caribou. The parks always will open at 5:00 PM  and the event will be at 6:00 PM. So we’re just going to, hopefully by June, have the sun will be shining on us, and we’re going to move forward.” To view future dates and artists participating in the Lawn Party concert series at Freeman Lake, go to EtownEvents.com
