Police investigate shooting with injury
Police are conducting a probe into an inadvertent shooting of a woman at Rolling Meadows Apartments in the South Rocky Mount area earlier this month. Officers responded to the 100 block of Boyd Court around 11:30 a.m. on April 12, and found Katelyn Hudson, 22, had sustained minor injuries to both legs from shrapnel, according to police. In a preliminary investigation, police said several people, including Hudson, had gathered outside around the office area of the apartment complex, and someone’s firearm malfunctioned and discharged, causing Hudson’s injuries. Hudson was taken to UNC Health Nash for treatment and eventually was released, police said. The person who had been carrying the firearm has not been identified, police said.
