A red mustang sets in the driveway of a home along Leslie Avenue in Glasgow. The car, identified by a neighbor, belongs to the renter of the home and was parked there before a shooting incident inside the home on Aug. 31, 2020.
GLASGOW, Ky. (UPDATE 4 p.m.) – The Glasgow Police Department arrested Terri L. Carroll, of Glasgow, in relation to a shooting on Leslie Avenue on Monday.
The victim, who police said was lying on the ground upstairs, appeared to have an apparent gunshot wound when they arrived. That person was identified as James H. Kingrey.
Officers made contact with Terri Carrol, and she said the two had arrived at the home with a small child sometime prior to the shooting.
Carroll purportedly went inside the home and locked the door. The child was left inside the vehicle with Kingrey, who Carroll said “was acting very strange at the time.”
Carroll told police Kingrey gained entry to the home, and he was shot after he went upstairs, according to a GPD news release. He purportedly broke glass before entering the home.
Jean Gentry, a neighbor, stated she heard a person knocking on the door at the home across from hers. She said she has lived at her Leslie Avenue home for several years and this was the first time something like the shooting has happened.
“I told her I was surprised because nothing like this has ever happened,” Gentry said.
Gentry went outside to check her mail, and she witnessed someone beating on the door. It was moments after that event that she said she heard several pops, which were later determined to be gunshots.
“A guy was beating on the door, but he went back and got in the red car,” Gentry said. “Then I went in the house, and that’s when we heard the first shot. Then right after that it was pop, pop, pop. The car horn went to blowing and the lights went to flashing, and I just grabbed the phone because I knew something had happened.”
Gentry’s granddaughter was at her home Monday morning completing class work, and she verified to her grandmother that the pops were gunshots. Gentry said her granddaughter is involved with guns with her father.
Gentry said police asked her if she was afraid at her home, but she said she wasn’t because she knew the event was not random.
“No, because I knew that happened different,” Gentry said. “It wasn’t just someone breaking in randomly. They knew what they was doing.”
The renter of the home was identified as Rick White, and he had been dropped off at work earlier on Monday. A woman, who Gentry said had been staying at White’s home since the middle part of last week, drove his car back to the home.
Carroll also advised she had used “spice” earlier in the day, and Kingrey had used methamphetamine.
Carroll faces charged related to first degree assault (domestic violence), first degree wanton endangerment and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon
The child was removed from the scene at the time of the arrest.
It’s unclear why Carroll was with Kingrey.
