On Thursday, June 18 at about 11 p.m., KPD Central Business District officers responded to a disturbance at the Hampton Inn located at 618 Main Street, where a female subject had placed several calls to 911 stating that people were trying to kill her.
Upon arrival, when officers attempted to knock on the door to speak with her, the subject fired numerous gunshots into the door in the direction of officers. The rounds did not penetrate the door and none of the three responding officers were harmed in the shooting. Shortly after, the subject exited the hotel room and surrendered to officers without incident. The subject, identified as 51-year-old Leigh Brown, stated that she mistakenly identified the officers and believed they were other individuals there to harm her.
Brown was taken into custody without further incident. She is charged with three counts of aggravated assault and using a firearm in the commission of a dangerous felony. Further charges could be forthcoming.
