Two-Year Old Child Injured During Hickory Shootout

Hickory Police say a 2-year-old child was injured in a shooting at Terrace Hills Apartments on Tuesday afternoon. It happened during an exchange of gunfire between people in two different vehicles. The injured child was sitting in a third vehicle with her grandmother when a bullet struck the minivan. The child was struck either with the bullet or flying glass in a finger. The injury was not serious according to police.

A gold Chevrolet Malibu with three men inside was parked at the apartments. Daniel Javarr Lipscomb, 30, of Hickory, went into his apartment and came out with a shotgun. Lipscomb returned to his vehicle, a silver Malibu. At that point, the men in the gold Malibu then began firing at Lipscomb and he returned fire.

The three suspects left the scene before law enforcement arrived. Lipscomb told police that he didn’t recognize the people in the car.

Lipscomb was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and was placed in the Catawba County Detention Center with a secured bond of $10,000.

Hickory Police are searching for the suspects and the gold Chevy Malibu. Citizens with any information are asked to call the Hickory Police Department at 828-328-5551.
