Adair County Sheriff Josh Brockman, along with Deputy Jason Camfield and Kentucky State Police Trooper Levi Scott responded to the scene.
EMS was staged nearby until the scene could be made safe.
Trooper Scott and Deputy Camfield located a male, 41 year old Mike Bell, at the residence on Hector Curry Road and called EMS to that residence.
Sheriff Brockman then responded to a residence where the suspected shooter, identified by the victim as Kaylie Jones, was spotted.
Sheriff Brockman located Jones in the 500 block of Hooterville Road, the residence where Bell was shot.
She was taken into custody and a 9mm handgun was recovered from her possession.
Preliminary investigation shows that Jones traveled to Adair County, to discuss a relationship the two had.
She entered into Bell’s home, while he was sleeping.
When Bell awoke to Jones in his house, an argument ensued and carried out into the driveway, where Jones pulled a pistol and fired one round, striking Bell in his upper right leg.
Kaylie Jones, 25, of Russell County, was lodged in the Adair County Regional Jail by Sheriff Brockman on charges of Assault 1st degree (Class B Felony) and Burglary 1st Degree (Class C Felony).
The case is being investigated by the Adair County Sheriff’s Office, assisted on scene by Kentucky State Police.
