The hunt for a man described as armed and dangerous, continued on Monday night.
Police said they are still searching for 55-year old Mark Showalter. On Sunday, Pulaski County Deputies arrested his son, Timothy, after investigators said the duo shot a woman in the head.
While 49-year old Allison Boclair recovers, her best friend is begging for help.

“If we didn’t see each other every day, we were constantly on the phone,” said Sarah Evans, when describing the friendship she and Allison Boclair have shared since they were 12 years old.
Now, Evans is praying this strong mother of three, will pull through.
“She is determined and if anybody can come out of this, she can,” said Evans.
Still, it’s hard for Evans to comprehend what happened to her friend, early Sunday morning..
“To have no regard for human life, you know he basically shot and took off and didn’t care whether she was alive or dead,” said Evans.
Pulaski County Deputies said 34-year old Timothy Showalter, and his father Mark, shot Boclair in the head at her home on Highway 542. Investigators said the crime wasn’t random and an argument led to the violence. After, Boclair was left in critical condition and taken to UK Hospital.
By Sunday afternoon investigators arrested Timothy at his house, about five miles from the crime scene. He is in the Pulaski County jail, charged for burglary and complicity to commit assault in the first degree. By Monday night, Mark was still on the run. Deputies said it was imperative they get him off of the streets.
“They said he is armed and dangerous. And like I said earlier, if he will do that to her, he will do that to anybody,” said Evans.
Back in 2013 Mark was arrested for attempted murder in a Lincoln County shooting. Those charges were later dropped. Boclair’s friends said it’s time Mark come forward.
“Turn yourself in, you were a coward whenever you done it. Act like a man and turn yourself in,” said Evans.
The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department said Mark Showalter is described as 5’10 weighing about 200 pounds. He has blue eyes, gray hair and a beard. Again, he’s considered armed and dangerous. Investigators ask anyone who knows where Mark is, to call police right away.
