MCCRACKEN COUNTY, Ky. — A man wanted in connection with the shooting Monday of two people in Jackson, Tennessee, was arrested late Friday afternoon at a home in McCracken County.

U.S. Marshals arrested 24-year-old Clinton Berry just after 4 p.m.

According to information provided by Lt. Tyreece Miller, commander of the Jackson, Tennessee Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit, officers were called at 2:45 p.m. Monday to a report of a shooting in the Lincoln Courts apartment complex in Jackson.

A 17-year-old youth was injured when a bullet grazed his head and a 37-year-old woman was shot in the leg. Both were treated at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital and released, Miller said.

Jackson investigators identified Berry as a suspect, and Paducah police detectives located him at the home of an acquaintance in McCracken County. Paducah police, U.S. Marshals and ATF agents went to the house and Berry was taken into custody.

Berry was booked into McCracken County Regional Jail, awaiting extradition to Tennessee.
