The Maryville Police Department requested the assistance of the Major Case Squad in investigating the shooting of two men. At approximately 11:12pm, a 9-1-1 hang-up call was received from a residence in the 2200 block of Log Cabin Lane. As an officer was en route to investigate the 9-1-1 hang-up, a second 9-1-1 call was received from the residence next door to the first 9-1-1 call. The second 9-1-1 caller identified himself as the son of the resident from where the first 9-1-1 call had been placed. The caller said his father and his father’s friend had been shot and needed help.

When officers arrived on scene, they located the 38 year-old male resident and his 38 year-old friend in the basement of the residence. They had both been shot and the friend had a black cord wrapped around his neck. Both victims were airlifted to the hospital where they both survived their injuries.

As a result of this investigation, Calvin Loving Jr (age 16 charged as an adult) was charged with Attempted 1st Degree Murder (2 counts), Aggravated Battery with a Firearm (2 counts), and Receive/Possess/or Sell Stolen Vehicle. His bond was set at $750,000.
