A Boonville man charged with attempted murder is due in court this week.

According to a Boonville Police report, on January 3, 2021, officers were dispatched to a residence to a report of shots fired. A woman told authorities Kalynn Dean Hendren pointed a rifle at her, and during wrestling over the rifle, she said Hendren fired one round. Officers found the spent shell casing, and the bullet fragment was located in the wall of the living room.

Court documents say Hendren is charged with felonies for attempted murder in the second degree, domestic assault in the first degree and armed criminal action. Bond remains at $500,000 cash or surety.

Hendren entered a plea of not guilty on January 6, 2021, and was indicted by a Grand Jury on March 22. His next hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, January 24, at Cooper County Circuit Court.
