Demar fled with his two-year-old daughter after the shooting. She was found unharmed when police apprehended him in Clarksville and took him into custody.

Police say a 16-year-old was in the home at the time and received minor injuries in a confrontation with Demar, and was treated at Tennova Healthcare Hospital.

Demar was arrested at his Union Lane home around 9.40pm on Thursday a few hours after the incident occurred. 

Kentucky Trooper Sean Wint said Friday charges are pending. Demar is being held at the Montgomery County Jail, on a $250,000 bond and records do not indicate whether he has an attorney.
