Two Pulaski men face multiple charges in connection with a late January shooting.
J’dyn Young, 22, and Trayton Coffey, 21, were taken into custody earlier this month and remain in the Giles County Jail awaiting a Feb. 27 court date.
Both men face attempted second-degree murder and unlawful carrying of a weapon charges. Young is also charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment (serious injury or use of a deadly weapon). Coffey is also charged with simple possession/casual exchange and violation of Circuit Court probation.
According to Pulaski Police, the charges against Young and Coffey stem from a Jan. 27 shooting that

The victim was taken to the old Timken building on Kathleen Drive and transferred to a helicopter for transport to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.
