A man who was arrested Sunday afternoon on several charges, including attempted murder of a police officer, pleaded not guilty in court Monday.

Court documents allege Joseph Brent Voncannon, 33, shot at a Louisville Metro Police officer several times Sunday in the 4800 block of Saint Leo Place when officers responded to a call of domestic trouble.

When police arrived, an arrest citation says, two people were leaving the home and told one of the officers that someone inside was armed and with other people.

That officer then stood in the doorway, according to an arrest citation, and tried to communicate with the armed man when "he stated he observed a muzzle flash from a gun being fired at him."

Police found the bullet stroke feet from where the officer was standing and later discovered multiple rounds were fired from inside the home while people were inside, an arrest citation states.

Three people, including two children under the age of 5, were barricaded inside a bedroom, according to an arrest citation.

Court documents say Voncannon's "actions of intentionally firing a handgun multiple times, the location of the bullet strike in relation to the officer after verbal commands were given and the proximity of the additional five people caused a substantial risk of death and/or serious physical injury to the officer and the five other people involved."

Voncannon was charged with five counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and attempted murder of a police officer. He was arraigned in Jefferson District Court on Monday and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

A preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 24 and Voncannon's bond was set at $50,000. He's booked at Metro Corrections, is to have no contact with the people directly involved and is prohibited from using a firearm or other weapon.
