(KAIR)--Shots fired inside an Atchison residence Thursday morning sent a woman fleeing from the home and left the alleged shooter in custody. “Shortly after 8 a.m. officers responded to a shots fired call at a residence in the 100 block of North 9th,” Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News. “Officers arrived to find that a 35-year-old victim had fled the residence after several shots were fired inside the residence. A 25-year-old male was still in the house when officers arrived, and he was taken into custody very quickly.”
Wilson identified the man arrested at the home as DeAndre Turner-Fults. “It was a domestic situation, they both reside at the residence. Apparently there was a verbal altercation that occurred. At some point, a handgun came into play. According to the victim, the suspect was in the living room area of the house, the victim was on a staircase that leads to a second story when several shots were fired in her direction. She was able to flee the house, ran down the street, police were notified.”
The woman was not hurt.
Turner-Fults was taken into custody for aggravated assault and criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Following his arrest, he was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
