LONDON, Ky. (LEX 18) — The London Police Department is reporting that one person has been arrested and charged with assault, among other charges, following an incident that occurred at a home in London on Saturday.

According to police, Heather R. Manning was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, fourth-degree assault, two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, and two counts of unlawful imprisonment.

Police say that officers were dispatched at 11:04 p.m. to a home on 1 Heather Way. When they arrived, they found Manning lying on the ground outside of the home with a gunshot wound to her arm.

Inside the home, officers found Judy W. Roberts lying on the floor with "injuries due to an apparent armed assault by Manning," a release from the department states.
