1 dead, 2 juveniles injured in Henderson shooting
One person was dead and two juveniles were in critical condition Friday after a shooting in Henderson, police said.
During an afternoon briefing near the scene, Lt. Kirk Moore said police responded at about 11:20 a.m. to reports of a shooting in the 300 block of Bright Sumac Court.
“Preliminary investigation has revealed that this incident is likely narcotics-related,” Moore said.
He said one person was dead at the scene, and the two juveniles were taken to local hospitals.
On Friday afternoon, the entrance to Greenway Crossing had been blocked off. Not far from the crime scene tape, Frank Zahrobsky sat with his head in his hands.
He said his 17-year-old son was one of the juveniles who had been shot. The teen had been taken to University Medical Center.
“He’s at UMC right now,” the father said. “I’m here to make sure everyone was safe and to find out exactly what happened. They didn’t give me information, or even say what part of his body was shot.”
Zahrobsky declined to give his son’s name but said he rushed home from work after his mom, who lives nearby, called him and said his son was shot in the neighborhood. At the time, seven of his eight children, whose ages range from 17 to 6, were home.
“You never think this is going to happen to your child in front of your house,” he said.
Police continued to investigate the shooting Friday afternoon. It occurred near Van Wagenen Street and Greenway Road, not far from Henderson City Hall and police headquarters.
Moore said all three people involved suffered gunshot wounds, and no suspects are outstanding. He said a vehicle also rolled into another area and crashed.
