Two Arrested In Shooting
05/08/08 MRC/CJ
Two men have been arrested in connection with an early
morning shooting off Preston Highway.
Marcus Swan, 20, and Dandre Owens, 20, both face
first-degree robbery and first-degree assault charges,
according to Alicia Smiley, a Louisville Metro Police
spokeswoman.
Police were called to the 2600 block of Colin
Avenue on a report of a break-in. The call came from
someone who was hiding under a bed inside the home.
When officers from the 6th Division responded,
they set up a perimeter around the house.
At some point shots were fired in the house and
within minutes, Swan and Owens exited the house and
surrendered.
Two men who had been inside home were taken to
University Hospital with gunshot wounds that were not
believed to be life-threatening.
Smiley said there were also three women, another
man and two small children inside the home at the time of
the break-in and shooting. None of them were injured.
Swan and Owens allegedly demanded money from the
men inside the home before the shooting.
Colin Avenue is east of Preston Highway and
between Eastern Parkway and Hess Lane.
