Huntington (HNN) --As previously reported in a “breaking news” item, Huntington officers responded to “shots fired” at approximately 11:00 p.m. Dec. 30, 2005, at the intersection of 17th Street and Ninth Avenue. When they arrived, they found Steven Henderson, of Columbus, Ohio, lying on the living room floor at 1720 Doulton Avenue with a gunshot wound in the leg.
 
Officers located a more seriously wounded victim at the intersection. A witness had head three shots fired while he was walking east on Artisan. He saw Camille Wells, 33, emerging from an alley between Artisan and 9th Avenue. He assisted her to 17th Street where Cabell County EMS transported her to Cabell Huntington Hospital.
 
After a CAT scan, Ms. Wells was determined to have a gunshot wound to the head with the bullet still lodged in her skull. According to CHH physicians in the police report, both victims are expected to recover.
 
No arrests have been made at this time.
 
THREE STABBED AT DAVIS’S PLACE
 
According to a 24-year-old man, a subject came over to the bar and began banging on the door around 2:00 a.m. Jan. 1, 2006. The victim opened the door and the subject elbowed the victim in the face which started a fight. As the altercation moved to the exterior lot, a 42-year-old bartender tried separating the two fighters. Once they were separated, the suspect approached the 24-year-old man, yelled obscenities, and head butted him in the mouth chipping teeth. The victim said he thought he “had been cut” also.
 
The bartender was stabbed twice in the back with a wound to the upper shoulder and lower back.
 
Another 25-year-old man attempted to help his friends, but the suspect brandished a knife at him too. After the fight ended, the third victim walked inside the bar and realized that he had been stabbed. He was taken to Cabell Huntington Hospital for treatment of a severe laceration to the upper back.
 
Officers found a card belonging to a woman who may know more about the subject who pulled the knife. However, she was with her boyfriend (who may be the suspect) and as of the filing of the police report, they had not returned to the scene.
