A 20-year-old female was transported to Upper Valley Medical Center by the family member who allegedly shot her by accident, according to the Troy Police Department.
Police officials said Brooke Randall, 20, arrived at the Upper Valley Medical Center with non-life threatening gunshot wounds to the arm and leg in the early morning hours Saturday.
Authorities said Randall was shot once and suffered injuries to her arm and leg and was later transported by ambulance to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment of her injuries. Randall was listed as being discharged from Miami Valley Hospital Saturday afternoon.
According to her statement to police officials, she was transported to the hospital by her brother, who accidentally shot her after an argument involving her relationship with a boyfriend.
The incident allegedly took place at Randall’s mother’s house located in the 1300 block of Maplecrest Drive. The brother of the victim has not been questioned by authorities and police are still trying to locate him, but are not treating him as a suspect.
According to Capt. Joe Long, the Troy Police Department was dispatched to the 1300 block of Maplecrest Drive several times prior to the incident, which is being treated as an accident until authorities contact Randall’s brother who is believed to have been responsible for the injuries.
