Lubbock County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to East 50th Street and Farm to Market Road 1729 during the noon hour for a report of a shooting. That location is east of the Lubbock city limits.
A victim was found with injuries that were not life threatening. Deputies were seen looking for a suspect.
After 3:00 pm, the LSO said shooting suspect, Keith Chaplin, 40, was “in custody at this time.”
Just before 3:45 pm, the LSO provided this statement:
Shooting suspect Keith Chaplin, [age 40] has been taken into custody without incident, near the original incident location. Suspect has sustained an apparent gunshot wound prior to his being taken into custody, as well. It is not clear at this time as to the nature of his injury ,or how he received it. This case appears to have stemmed from a civil disagreement between the victim and Chaplin, and is still under investigation. The victim is being treated at UMC with a superficial wound to the hand. Chaplin is also being treated with a superficial wound to his leg and is facing charges.
