LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A juvenile who was shot in the arm on March 29, 2025, has been arrested on criminal mischief charges.
LMPD Sgt. Matthew Sanders, a spokesman for the Louisville Metro Police Department, said officers responded to the 7200 block of Church Court on a reported shooting. That's near the Hikes Point neighborhood.
Police were then told a boy has shown up to UofL Health with a gunshot wound.
LMPD said in an update Wednesday that the boy who was shot has now been arrested. According to an arrest report, the boy allegedly was shot while kicking on an entry door to an apartment.
The boy said he was "ding dong ditching" doors at an apartment complex he doesn't live in. The door was "kicked hard enough that it cracked and damaged the door jamb," according to the arrest citation.
The shooting was ruled self defense by the Commonwealth Attorneys office.
