ACSO: Two shot during fight at local business By Sheriff Josh Brockman Adair County Sheriff's Office On Tuesday, April 18, 2023, at 9:12pmCT, Adair County 911 received a call of a fight in progress at Anderson's Pizza on Campbellsville Road. The Sheriff's Department was dispatched to the scene, and Chief Deputy Brandon Hitch arrived on scene approximately 2 minutes after the call was reported. Additional units from the Sheriff's Office, Columbia Police Department, and Kentucky State Police began arriving shortly thereafter. Deputies on scene found that shots had been fired, and two people had been hit. EMS was sent to the scene. The altercation began when males Chris Marano and Stephen Perez started an altercation with another male, Ernesto Garcia, and his girlfriend Alisha Corbin. According to employees at the bar, Marano and Perez had already been asked to leave the bar due to their behavior toward staff and guests. Ernesto tried to leave, but the altercation got physical when Marano struck Ernesto, then Perez jumped in. Murano and Perez began assaulting Ernesto by punching him, kicking him, stomping his head into floor, and hitting him with chairs. Corbin, who was pushed to the ground several times, made it outside and retrieved a 9mm pistol and returned back into the bar to help Ernesto. The staff was finally able to get the fight stopped and were trying to get Ernesto out of the building so he could get help. Corbin then exited the building with the firearm. Marano and Perez gave chase to her. A witness states she gave the gun to Ernesto at their truck. An employee, Neal Rooks, who was trying to help Ernesto, was shot in the foot. He stated he heard the male identified as Marano yell he had a gun as he charged toward Ernesto and him in parking lot. Ernesto began firing his 9mm, striking Marano in the leg, ankle, wrist, and stomach. Marano was flown to University of Louisville, where he is in stable condition. Perez and Corbin were not injured. Ernesto received medical attention at TJ Health Columbia for the injuries he received. At this time after interviews with witnesses, statements, evidence gathered at scene and footage from the security cameras it appears that Ernesto Garcia acted in self defense. However the case and investigation will be presented to Commonwealth Attorney Brian Wright to determine if any charges should be brought forth. The case is being investigated by Sheriff Josh Brockman, and he was assisted on scene by multiple deputies, Columbia Police Officers, and Kentucky State Troopers.
