“Sometime around 5:15 a.m., police were called to a residence near mile seventeen and a half, in the Bainsville area of Hattieville where they were informed that one Rasheed Maskall, a twenty-two-year-old male and Latifah Ferguson received gunshot injuries.  We know that they were at their home sometime around 5:10 a.m. when they heard a barrage of bullets and realized that they were injured.  Mr. Maskall was transported to the K.H.M.H. via private vehicle.  Ms. Ferguson who got a shot to her right leg also was transported to the K.H.M.H. where they are being treated for their injuries.”

“None as yet, but we know that the investigators are following up on some leads that they’ve gleaned through interviews they got from the victims.  So hopefully we could get to the bottom of this rather sooner than later.”
