As of Monday afternoon, police were still looking for a male who allegedly attempted to murder a Western student Sunday outside of College Suites apartments.
Louisville sophomore David D. Robinson was struck in the head several times with a pistol and shot in the back of the leg by an unknown assailant when he tried to escape, according to a police report.
Robinson said in the report that the shooter ran away after Robinson was shot.
He described the shooter as a 6-foot male wearing a dark, puffy coat and a dark, fitted baseball hat. He appeared to be about 25 years old.
Robinson was at the College Suites apartments, 2426 Thoroughbred Drive, to meet a friend, the police report stated.
Robinson said in the report that the shooter came out and asked “What’s up?” several times before assaulting Robinson. The shooter never tried to get into Robinson’s pockets.
The police report said Robinson had $687 cash in his pocket.
Robinson was taken to Greenview Regional Hospital by a friend, whose complete name wasn’t given in the police report.
The friend didn’t answer calls from the police and declined to comment to the Herald about the incident.
A Greenview representative said Robinson was in the hospital’s emergency room Sunday, but wasn’t admitted to the hospital.
The police report said Robinson’s injuries consisted of a dislocated left shoulder; lacerations to his left cheek, neck and the back of his head; and a gunshot wound to his right thigh. The bullet went all the way through his leg.
The police are interviewing more people to figure out what happened said Barry Pruitt, public information officer with the Bowling Green Police Department.
There were no witnesses, but police found some people during the investigation who may have more information, he said.
College Suites has a zero-tolerance policy for firearms, said Stefanie Ray, property manager at College Suites.
After talking with police, officials with College Suites determined that nobody involved in the shooting is a resident in the apartments.
Deputy Jason Holcomb is an off-duty officer who lives on-site and is available to residents for questions and concerns, Ray said.
Robinson couldn’t be reached for comment Monday.
