A 19-year-old woman who has not yet been identified has been booked into the Douglas County Jail on attempted second-degree murder charges in connection with a shooting Thursday night of another woman at a west Lawrence townhouse complex.
Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Dan Ward said an 18-year-old woman, who has not yet been identified, was shot around 10:20 p.m. in the 600 block of Eldridge.
The victim was transported to Free State High School, where she was then airlifted to an area hospital.
Ward said the victim’s injuries appear to be non life-threatening.
About 7 a.m. today, police located and arrested a suspect in the shooting, a 19-year-old woman who knows the victim.
The motive for the shooting is still under investigation.
