GRAVES COUNTY, Ky. — Multiple people suffered gunshot wounds after two intruders knocked on the door and opened fire at a home south of Mayfield.
According to Graves County Sheriff DeWayne Redmon, two intruders knocked on the door of Richard and Sharon Jett's home on Chris Drive a little after 12 Thursday morning. When Richard Jett answered the door, officials say he was shot and possibly struck with one of the intruders' weapons.
The intruders then entered the home and found Sharon Jett in the bedroom. It is thought she was shot at least two times, but returned fire on the suspects. The couple's daughter and grandchild were also in the house at the time, but were unharmed. Both of the Jetts are still in serious condition at a local hospital.
Kirby and Phelps fled on foot, and police received a tip later in the morning that two men acting suspicous were walking along KY 1748. A man gave them a ride to the Pryorsburg Market and then contacted police with the information.
Police arrested three suspects, James Allen Kirby, 24, and Richard Phipps, 40, both of Hopkinsville, Thursday morning in Graves County, and Edwin Russell, of Elkon, who is the victims' daughter's ex-boyfriend.
Police believe the 40-year-old Phipps was shot twice, once in the arm and once in the side, by Sharon Jett. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Kirby and Russell were lodged in the Graves County jail.
The men face a variety of charges, including two counts of attempted murder, one count of robbery, one count of burlgary, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
