The Grayson County Sheriff, along with the Louisville Metro Police, is investigating a shooting that occurred in Leitchfield on Friday, August 21.

Around 2 p.m. on Friday Sheriff Detective Terry Blanton was called to the Emergency Room of Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center to investigate after Jackie L Hicks, 43, suffered a gunshot wound in his right leg.

Blanton reported that hicks was shot in the leg and hit in the head with a baseball bat.

The victim reported two men, a black male around six foot tall, weighing around 200 pounds and a white male around six foot one, weighing about 210 with a tear drop tattoo under each eye hit him and shot on Sunbeam Road earlier that day.
