LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A man was hospitalized after being shot in the Highlands early Saturday morning.
Dwight Mitchell, a spokesperson for Louisville Metro Police, said officers responded to the 1000 block of Bardstown Road just before 3:30 a.m. on a reported shooting.
Police said a man who was shot in the leg was taken to UofL Hospital by private means.
In an update Sunday, police said a second victim was taken to the hospital by private means after she was shot and then hit by a car during the shooting.
Police said the victim sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, but she was left in critical condition after being hit by a car.
According to police, she is suffering from multiple broken vertebrae and spinal fractures, broken ribs, a right clavicle fracture and abdominal hemorrhaging. The victim has undergone multiple surgeries, police said.
Israyel Archie, 24, was arrested for allegedly driving the vehicle that hit the victim. She was charged with leaving the scene of an accident/failure to render aid involving death or serious physical injury.
According to court documents, surveillance video shows the vehicle fleeing the scene after running over the woman who was shot.
The vehicle then stopped a short distance away and another person got inside.
Police were able to identify the vehicle and found Archie in the passenger seat. She identified herself, and officers said she admitted to them she was driving the vehicle at the time of the hit-and-run.
In an interview, Archie admitted to police she heard shots and attempted to leave the area but felt a bump while pulling out of the parking lot.
She said the person who got into the vehicle told her she might've hit someone, but she still drove away from the area and didn't call authorities.
The shooting suspect has not been arrested as of this writing.
Archie is expected to appear in court Monday.
