Police looking for man accused of shooting a woman inside a Lexington KFC

Lexington police are looking for a man who fired shots inside a KFC restaurant on Saturday morning, injuring a woman who was working there.

The employee with whom Westbrook was upset had just arrived at work, police said.

Police said Westbrook “pulled out a handgun and fired several rounds to the rear of the kitchen,” hitting a 40-year-old female employee in the ankle. The woman was taken to a hospital.

Six employees were in the restaurant at the time, police said.

Westbrook is wanted on warrants for first-degree assault and five counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.
