Montgomery, Alabama
A Montgomery judge has been seriously injured in a domestic incident that happened Saturday afternoon. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department tells Action 8 News that deputies responded to a 911 call from Circuit Judge Johnny Hardwick’s home around 1pm. Upon arrival, deputies learned that Judge Hardwick had been assaulted, shot, and seriously injured by his son, Khalfani A. Hardwick. Deputies immediately searched the area and located the suspect’s abandoned vehicle on Trotman Road.
Khalfani A. Hardwick has been charged with Domestic Violence in the First Degree and with Certain Persons Forbidden to Possess a Firearm. He is currently being held at the Montgomery County Detention Facility without bond. Judge Hardwick was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were described as serious.
Mayor Steven Reed said, “Tamika and I are saddened by the news that Judge Johnny Hardwick has been shot. He has honorably served our community on the Circuit Court for decades, helping spearhead numerous reforms to make the court system more equitable and fair. Most recently, he worked to eliminate bond requirements for more non-violent offenses. Away from the bench he was a champion for the area’s youth, one of the founders of 100 Black Men of Greater Montgomery.
