One Dead in Apartment Shooting in Bowling Green

Bowling Green has seen its second fatal shooting within a week.  A man died following a robbery Monday night at Green Haven Apartments on Rock Creek Drive. 

Bowling Green Police say 20-year-old Larry Thomas was airlifted to a Nashville hospital where he died.  Officer Ronnie Ward says the victim may have been a WKU student.

"Right now I don't know.  We're doing a little research into that to figure out if he was a Western student," says Ward.  "I understand there was some rumor he may be taking classes, but we're not certain if it was for Western or another school."

Police do not have a suspect or even a description of the shooter at this time.
