When they arrived, deputies say, they found a ransacked bedroom and encountered two suspects. One suspect, 18 year old Adrian Ryans, was shot and another, 17 year old Madison Falls, was arrested. Falls appeared before a Lexington county judge Tuesday where he was denied bond. Meanwhile, his alleged accomplice remains hospitalized with, according to deputies, non-life threatening injuries.
