According to police, Wright and Duckett, both 23, have a young child together, and they live together in Cleveland County.
Wright was charged Friday with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, two counts of assault on a female, two counts of injury to personal property, second-degree burglary, discharging a weapon into an occupied vehicle and failure to appear for driving with a revoked license.

With what felt like a grizzly in his chest, Jim Benfield’s legs buckled, and he crashed onto his living room floor. A Mount Holly policeman who had helped first responders break down doors to rescue ailing 911 callers, he frantically fumbled with his cellphone.
“Dummy me, why didn’t I call the ambulance?” he shrugs. “I knew I was dying, and all I could think was that I wanted to speak to my wife one more time.”
As he stepped out of the shower, a clot blocked the left anterior descending artery of Benfield’s heart, triggering paroxysms of pain that he compares to the claws of an angry bear.
Elmer O Boyle believes it s easy to forget the sacrifices police officers make on the public s behalf.
He wants to make sure that s not the case for two Kings Mountain police officers injured in the line of duty over the past year. They need to see that the community is behind them and that we ve got their back, O Boyle. We don t want them to ever feel like they ve been forgotten.
That s why officers and first responders will eat their fill for free at O Boyle s Back the Blue Cookout from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday in front of the Cleveland County Courthouse, located at 100 Justice Place in Shelby. O Boyle said a collection of tasty backyard eats will be on the menu, including hamburgers, hot dogs, free drinks and nachos.
