A man shot during an alleged home invasion in Elizabethtown last Friday has been identified as Christopher Little, 30, of Boston.

Little is accused of breaking into two homes on Hall Road Friday and was shot when confronted by the second homeowner.

Haycraft was the last candidate to join the race for the Bardstown City Council and is the last to give an interview to The Kentucky Standard and PLG-TV. She is one of 11, which includes five of the six incumbents.
