Charles Connor, 53, faces multiple charges including attempted homicide and aggravated assault after he shot two hostages and fired at a police officer early this morning inside his Madison apartment on Cheyenne Boulevard.
Kevin Dale Lowe, 49, told investigators he drove Fancy O’Neal Luckey, 36, to Connor’s apartment. An argument broke out between the three. A neighbor called police at 12:30 a.m. to report hearing a loud argument and shots fired inside Connor’s apartment.
Patrol officers arrived and made emergency entry into the apartment but quickly exited after seeing a gunman and hostage. SWAT officers assigned to the Special Response Team responded and established a perimeter.
Additional shots were heard around 1:45 a.m. and SWAT officers entered the apartment. Connor shot at Officer John Hutcheson who returned fire but did not strike anyone. Officer Hutcheson was not injured. Connor had an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to his foot and was taken into custody. He was treated and released into police custody.
Luckey, of Dupont Avenue, and Lowe, of Goodlettsville, were both transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where Lowe is in stable condition with a gunshot wound to the leg. Luckey, who was shot in the chest, is in critical but stable condition.
There was evidence of drug use inside the apartment.
Connor has been arrested over 40 times with convictions for assault, reckless endangerment with a motor vehicle, DUI, and unlawful weapon and drug possession.
Domestic Violence detectives will charge Jordan Looper, 28, with attempted homicide after he intentionally struck his ex-girlfriend with his SUV this afternoon in the parking lot of her workplace at Dell on 1 Dell Parkway.
Looper called Whitney Wiser, 24, and said he wanted to meet with her. She got into his GMC Denali. After a discussion, she told him she did not want to resume their relationship. She got out of the vehicle and as she was walking back toward her office, Looper quickly accelerated the SUV and struck Wiser before driving off just before 1 p.m. She was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she is in critical but stable condition.
Less than an hour later, Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers stopped Looper on Interstate 40 East in Wilson County near Watertown and took him into custody.
South Precinct officers early Tuesday morning arrested Carla Renee Poindexter-Sain, 43, who was wanted for intentionally striking another woman with her car July 2nd in the parking lot of Mapco at 18 Thompson Lane.
The victim reported that she was closing the store when Poindexter-Sain, who appeared intoxicated, drove up and asked to borrow her phone to report a crime. After the call, Poindexter-Sain got into her car and began backing out. The victim reached into the vehicle to try and retrieve her phone when Poindexter-Sain shifted gears and struck the victim. While the victim was on the ground, Poindexter-Sain reversed her car and then drove over the victim’s legs before leaving at a high rate of speed.
Moments later, South Precinct Officer Jason Koerner spotted Poindexter-Sain driving 80 m.p.h in a 40 m.p.h zone in the 100 block of Thompson Lane. Officer Koerner activated his emergency equipment but Poindexter-Sain did not pull over. A short time later, she crashed into a residence on Tanksley Avenue and fled on foot.
Poindexter-Sain, of Glenrose Avenue, is charged with attempted criminal homicide, evading arrest, theft, reckless driving and possessing medication without a prescription. She is being held in lieu of $527,000 bond.
