CENTER POINT — The Jefferson County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating shooting from Center Point this morning.
Authorities said around 7 a.m. this morning, sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a person shot in the 1800 block of Martinique Drive in Center Point. The caller reported he had been shot and then disconnected the call.
Deputies located the 17-year-old victim in a wooded area behind The Point Apartments. The victim had, in fact, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg. The victim was transported to an area hospital with non- life threatening injuries.
The victim first didn’t cooperate, police said. He then reported he had been walking through the wooded area when an unknown person shot him.

LOL. While the mayor and Barlow travel to Vegas for a Vacation on the tax payer dime, people continue to be shot in their city. Maybe they can get some advise in Vegas ho how to prevent crime in their own city

I have been told prior to this shooting that there is a wooded area behind WalMart Neighborhood Grocery store where men/thugs with previous felony convictions, homeless from time to time, stealing from neighbors are sleeping under tents in that area. They are known to occupy vacant houses temporarily also. Jefferson County deputies (sometimes 2 grown deputies occupy one car )park in a vacant lot w/o radar which is located w/i a block of this area. Jeff Co needs a new sheriff that requires their deputies to work 8 hrs shifts & ea car to have radar to stop speeders. Perhaps we need to cut some management salaries so we can install radar in each car.
