Altercation Results in Shooting, Injuries |
| |
 |
Deputies
responding to a shooting call early Saturday morning arrived to find three
people injured, including an East Burke High School student who apparently
suffered a gunshot wound to his legs.
Detectives with the Burke County
Sheriff's Office later charged Brady Lee Lail (left), 23, of 7052 Hildebran
Mountain Avenue, Connelly Springs with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting
serious injury. |
|
| According to Detective Mark Connelly, deputies
were dispatched to Hildebran Mountain Avenue on May 8th at 2:08 a.m. Upon their
arrival, they found Bryan Scott Carr, 18, of 4838 Miller Bridge Road suffering
from gunshot wounds to the legs. Lail reportedly had several lacerations to his
chest and head. Both men were transported to Valdese Hospital for
treatment. |
| |
| Another man, Chris Allen Turner, reportedly had
minor injuries to his arm, but was not transported to the hospital. |
| |
| Connelly said witnesses stated Bryan Carr and
his brother, Wesley had been involved in an ongoing altercation with Lail. The
disputed allegedly escalated to a brawl at Lail's residence. |
| |
| Bryan Carr claimed he hit Lail in the head with
a beer bottle because Lail was beating Wesley, Connelly said. Lail
reportedly retrieved a .22 caliber rifle and fired several shots at Carr as he
left the scene in his truck, striking him in the legs with one or two
shots. |
| |
| Other charges may be pending in the matter,
Connelly said. |
| |
| Lail was taken into custody after his release
from the hospital and charged with the shooting. He was placed in the Burke
Catawba District Confinement Facility under a $15,000 secured bond. He has a
first court appearance today. |
