Kenneth R Gibbs Biography
Who is Kenneth R Gibbs ?
POLICE have arrested a suspect they believe opened fire at a Kentucky homeless shelter on Thursday, killing two people and wounding two more.
There were about 15 inside the Harbor House Christian Center, a shelter that provides food and housing for men, at the time of the shooting.
Kenneth R Gibbs, 37, has been arrested in connection with a shooting at a homeless shelter that killed two people.
About two hours later, the Henderson Police Department was able to arrest the suspect at a nearby boat ramp, Chief Sean McKinney said.
Suspect
The suspect, 37-year-old Kenneth R Gibbs, is believed to have resided at the shelter.
The shooting happened around 8:00 p.m. m. and when the police arrived, several people were suffering from gunshot wounds, some fatal.
Henderson City Commissioner Robert Pruitt confirmed the first death last night, while spokeswoman Donna Stinnet confirmed the second.
Murder
Gibbs was identified as the shooter by witnesses at the shelter, McKinney said.
He was located around 9:45 p.m. m. at a nearby boat ramp about three miles from the refuge.
Gibbs was booked on two counts of murder, according to the Henderson County Detention Center.
Harbor House resident Brian McClain said he was resting in the bedroom area when a man suddenly turned on the lights.
Victims
Police identified the deceased as Steven Wathen, 67, and Chad Holmes, 44.
They both lived at the Harbor House along with the two injured victims.
Tributes for the victims were posted on Facebook and Holmes was remembered for having a big heart for others and working towards becoming a pastor.
“He was doing great walking with the Lord and he changed his life,” a friend of Holmes said in a post.
“I’ll say I’m glad he was right with God, but man, it’s sad. Please pray for his sister and his family R.I.P.”
Wathen was criticized as a wonderful man with a kind spirit.
Police are still investigating a shooting and no motive has been given at this time.
