Another act of violence disrupted the daily flow of Henderson yesterday when shots rang out near Center Street and Burkholder Boulevard. In what can sadly be described as a regular beat of modern American life, the Henderson Police Department found themselves responding to a call about a shooting at around 2:20 p.m.. According to the official report from the City of Henderson, the incident resulted in one individual being injured.

The sequence of events saw the victim's vehicle continuing to drive, eventually stopping in the parking lot of 754 South Boulder Highway to wait for the authorities. The suspect, meanwhile, made a getaway in an unspecified direction. In the wake of the chaos, a female passenger suffered injuries that were deemed to be non-life-threatening by subsequent medical assessments. She was taken to a nearby hospital by the Henderson Fire Department Paramedics. Henderson Police are currently treating the occurrence as an isolated incident and, as such, they have not declared any ongoing threat to public safety.

Investigative efforts into the shooting are continuing with intensity. However, since this is a live case, the police are keeping a tight lid on the specifics. As is protocol, they are calling on the community for assistance. "Anyone with information in this case is urged to call the Henderson Police Department," the statement from the City of Henderson read, detailing several contact options including local numbers and Crime Stoppers. It was additionally noted that information leading to a felony arrest could come with a cash reward, incentivizing public participation in the justice process.
