HENDERSON — A woman is charged with attempted first-degree murder of a coworker after a shooting early Thursday morning in Henderson.

Chief Wilton Cleveland said Kokeeta Lake, 29, shot a coworker around 12:15 a.m. at Quality Metal Stamping on East Main Street.

The woman who was shot was taken to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, Cleveland said. She was later airlifted to Regional One in Memphis.

She is in serious, but stable condition.

Cleveland said the woman was shot multiple times, and multiple shell casings were found at the scene.

Lake and the woman had an argument prior to the shooting. Cleveland said during the argument, Lake walked back to her car and got a handgun, before arguing with the woman again.

Lake is in custody at the Chester County Jail on $250,000 bond. She was arraigned in court Thursday morning.
