A Bowling Green woman has been arrested and charged after reporting a false shooting.
According to the Bowling Green Police Department, officers were called to Stonehenge Avenue, just off Veterans Memorial Lane, on Wednesday shortly after noon.
Police were initially told that a shooting took place and the suspect had left the scene.
After an investigation, police determined that a man was playing with a firearm inside an apartment and shot himself.
Bowling Green Police said witnesses on the scene confirmed that the man had shot himself. The wounded man was taken to a Nashville hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
Lacy Pedigo, 31, was arrested and charged with falsely reporting an incident. She is being held in the Warren County Regional Jail without bond.
Police also said a person in the area with a gun was taken into custody but was released.
A separate shooting took place around the same time at The Hub off Lovers Lane.
Authorities said the incident appeared to be self-inflicted and is being investigated as a possible suicide.
