Hutch police investigating shooting that left 1 critically injured

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Police continue to investigate a shooting from Friday night that left one man in serious condition at a Wichita hospital.

Two men face criminal charges. Nalica McKinnley was arrested Monday for aggravated battery after he admitted to firing a shotgun that wounded 47-year-old Marc Chambers, according to Hutchinson Police Lt. Dustin Loepp.

Chambers was taken by private vehicle and left at the hospital by Johnathan Kelly. He was later taken to a Wichita hospital where he is currently in serious condition.

Police had trouble finding Kelly. Once authorities found him, Kelly agreed to talk. He admitted the weapon belonged to him, but said it was McKinnley who fired the shot. Kelly was arrested for having a criminal history and being in possession of the weapon.

Kelly managed to make bond after his arrest Friday for criminal use of weapons, criminal possession of a firearm and interference with law enforcement.

Both suspects say the shooting was accidental, but police arrested McKinnley on the aggravated battery charge.

Police sought a search warrant after spotting blood through the window of a home at 1517 E. 3rd. There was some indication that someone tried to clean up the home, so Kelly also faces a charge of interference with law enforcement.

McKinnley is jailed on a $10,000 bond.
