BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) — Bowling Green authorities are investigating a violent home invasion that took place Sunday night at an apartment.
According to police reports, several masked individuals armed with firearms attempted to forcibly enter a residence on Hillview Mills, prompting a response from local law enforcement.
Officers arrived to find the suspects had already fled. During the response, shots were fired in the vicinity, and officers located another crime scene on Moss Creek Avenue.
The victims reported that four men had entered the home through an unlocked back window. The intruders demanded to know the location of her brother’s bedroom while ransacking the residence in search of unknown belongings.
The brother stated he arrived home during the incident and, sensing trouble, retrieved a handgun and fired at the intruders, who returned fire. Multiple bullet casings and damage were documented inside the apartment. The suspects ultimately fled on foot.
Officers pursued several individuals seen running toward Spring Creek Avenue but lost them in the nearby greenway. Law enforcement agencies, including the Bowling Green Police Department, Warren County Sheriff’s Office, and WKU Police, canvassed the area in search of the suspects.
Two suspects, Jaivion S. Harris, 21, and Brian C. Williams, 19, were later located at separate locations. Williams was found with an apparent gunshot wound. Drone assistance from the sheriff’s office helped in locating the injured suspect.
Investigators recovered multiple shell casings at the scene, linking 9mm and 10mm firearms to the incident.
Residents in the area reported hearing gunfire, and one stated he pursued the suspects with his AR-15 but did not discharge any rounds.
The Bowling Green Police Criminal Investigation Division has taken over the case, and authorities continue to search for additional suspects and gather evidence.
Harris and Williams were charged with first-degree robbery and remain at the Warren County Regional Jail.
