A Harlan Co man is facing charges after he shot his uncle during a fight. According to the Kentucky State Police, the shooting took place at a home in the Kildav community of Harlan Co Sunday evening. When Troopers arrived at the home the wife of the alleged shooter told them that James Gilbert and another man, came to the home and started a fight with her husband, identified as Jerry Wayne Gilbert Jr. through their bedroom window. Turns out James Gilbert was Jerry Gilbert's uncle. WYMT reports that the woman claimed James and the other man attempted to pull her through the window before James fired a gun into the home. That’s when Jerry reportedly grabbed a shotgun and a rifle and returned fire. During the gunfire, James Gilbert was hit and had to be flown out to Johnson City Medical Center with serious injuries. Reports indicate that Jerry admitted to Police that he was on several prescribed medications and also had been taking Xanax, which he did not have a prescription for. Jerry Wayne Gilbert Jr. is a convicted felon and was not allowed to have any guns. He was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and first-degree assault. He was lodged in the Harlan Co Detention Center. At this time, James Gilbert is not facing any charges for this incident. The KSP are continuing to investigate.
