A Bowling Green teenager is charged in the shooting of another teen at a city park.
Police were called to Kereiakes Park around 3:00 a.m. Tuesday morning where officers found 19-year-old Mason South with a gunshot wound to the head. South is being treated at the Medical Center in Bowling Green.
Eighteen-year-old Cameron Buckner was arrested and charged with assault. BGPD Officer Ronnie Ward says Buckner confessed to shooting South following an argument and physical altercation.
"He pretty much told the story about the fight and him going to his backpack and pulling the gun out," explained Ward. "He said he fired a shot in the air to try to scare them and there were some more words exchanged, and he said he pointed the gun at the person and pulled the trigger."
The Daily Newsreports Buckner is a former football player at South Warren High School and had signed to play for Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro this fall. He is now in the Warren County Regional Jail.
