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.
