Glasgow, Ky. — A Barren County grand jury will consider charges against a man accused of shooting a woman and igniting a fire in their residence. Shane Reece, 58, is facing multiple charges following his district court appearance on May 29, including attempted murder with domestic violence circumstances, first-degree arson, first-degree wanton endangerment, and animal torture.
Reece was taken into custody by Glasgow police on May 20 after the alleged incident at a duplex on McGrah Avenue. During the court proceedings, Reece attended via Zoom while his arresting officer, Jarrett Graber, testified before District Judge Gabe Pendleton. Graber recounted that he arrived at the scene to find a woman suffering from injuries to her head and wrist, alongside a shotgun on the kitchen floor.
Tragically, a cat was found dead due to smoke inhalation, underscoring the severity of the domestic disturbance. Graber testified that while Reece acknowledged to deputies that he was responsible for the shooting, he did not share this admission directly with Graber, expressing confusion over the incident.
During the proceedings, Graber indicated that Reece was alone in his portion of the duplex during the shooting. However, he noted the presence of a juvenile on the adjacent side at the time of the violence and fire. With no objections from the defense, Judge Pendleton moved to refer Reece’s case to a grand jury for further deliberation.
The bond for Reece has been set at $750,000, according to the Barren County Detention Center’s records. The identity of the shooting victim has not been disclosed, as it involves a domestic violence case; however, Glasgow Police Department Public Information Officer Terry Flatt confirmed that she has since been discharged from the hospital.
As legal proceedings continue, the community remains on edge regarding domestic violence incidents, highlighting the ongoing need for vigilance and support for those affected.
