The two men were arguing when the shooting incident occurred, said Trooper Charles Swiney, public affairs officer for the Kentucky State Police’s Bowling Green post.
Swiney said family members of the perpetrator were dating and may have sparked the argument between the two men.
State police were notified of the shooting incident via a call from a third party, Swiney said.

Wells was arrested around 7:14 p.m. Friday without incident and lodged in the Hart County Jail, the state police said.
