OAK GROVE, KY – On April 13, Oak Grove Police officers responded to a 911 hang-up call on Arkansas Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered one individual deceased and attempted to negotiate with another person who had sustained gunshot wounds.
At approximately 2 a.m., dispatchers received a 911 call; however, no information was provided by the caller, prompting them to ping the location of the phone. The call was traced to a residence on Arkansas Avenue.
Oak Grove Police Officers arrived at the home to check on the occupants. Upon their arrival, officers heard a gunshot and found a deceased person just inside the home. A second individual, armed and injured, was barricaded in a back room.
