Madison Home Hit By Drive-By For Second Time In A Month
A 19-year-old was shot from the street while he was sitting inside a Madison house, where another drive-by injured a girl last month.
MADISON, TN — A 19-year-old was found shot inside a Madison home, the victim of an apparent drive-by shooting at a home where a teen girl was shot in a drive-by a month ago.
Metro Police arrived at a home on Barbara Lynn Way around 10 p.m. to find the as-yet-unidentified teenager shot twice in the hip. Witnesses told police shots were fired from a passing car. A 16-year-old girl was shot on the porch of the same house August 13 in a still-unsolved drive-by. Investigators believe she was shot by someone aiming for her brother. It is unclear if the two incidents are connected.
