North Elm St. shooting suspect in jail

The man sought for a shooting incident Thursday night on North Elm Street is in custody after he went to the hospital Friday night with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Hopkinsville Police Sgt. Tony Sierra says there was evidence at the scene that 24-year old Marshawn Taylor of Hopkinsville had also shot himself when he shot 26-year old Marka Smith of Owensboro in the wrist and hip while she was sitting in a vehicle in the 100 block of North Elm.

Taylor went to Jennie Stuart Medical Center Friday night with a minor gunshot wound to the thigh and was treated and released into the custody of Hopkinsville police.

He was then lodged in the Christian County Jail on charges of first-degree assault, wanton endangerment and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

Smith is in critical, but stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, according to the warrant.
