Woman admits to shooting in southwest Louisville, claims self-defense

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — It was just after 3 a.m. Tuesday when neighbors on Patricia Drive, off Cane Run Road, woke up to the sound of gunfire.

Gail, who asked her last name not be used, said she first heard three shots: “And then I heard two more, so I came to the door and looked out. There were three people on the porch, screaming at each other.”

Gail saw a woman lying outside her neighbor’s home and called 911.

Police say Cicley Herring, 35, later admitted to shooting the victim. She made her first court appearance Wednesday morning.

Arguing for a lower bond, attorney Nick Neumann told the judge, “I think it’s clear there’s going to be two sides to this story.”

Neumann said his client had acted in self-defense. He said Herring and another woman, friends according to police, got into an argument at a club at 26th and Broadway. The situation later escalated outside Herring’s home.

“It was her property, there were threats, a person who had followed her home. She had called the police, there was no help, no one there. She’s there by herself with someone approaching her with an apparent object, and she did what she needed to do in the end,” he said.

HOUSTON — A homeowner fatally shot a 19-year-old man outside a home in east Houston late Tuesday, police said.

The shooting happened at about 11:30 p.m. in the 13300 block of Force, not far from Uvalde and I-10.

Police initially reported the incident as an attempted car burglary turned deadly, but the investigation is still underway at this time.

Police now believe a group of people firing paintball guns at the family’s home was the catalyst for the shooting.

“They were alerted to some sort of disturbance,” said Sgt. Joshua Horn with the Houston Police Department. “They believed that they were – that their house was being shot at. The homeowner, the father, came outside to the disturbance, approached a suspect who was standing out here. Believed that he was a threat, fearing for his safety, fired a round at him.”
