Suspect shoots through window into home, hits man

On Saturday, July 20, at about 11:30 p.m., Van Buren Township Police were called to a home in the 7200 block of Sheldon Rd. for a shooting.
Deputy Police Chief Joshua Monte said upon arrival, officers found a 34-year-old male township resident inside his home with several gunshot wounds.
Further investigation revealed that the suspect, while standing outside a window at the victim’s residence, fired multiple rounds through the window into a room of the house.
Inside the room at the time of the incident was the victim, a female, and two young children. The female and two young children were unharmed.
The wounded male was transported to a local hospital, where he is currently receiving medical treatment for non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
Deputy Chief Monte said this residence was specifically targeted because the suspect and the female inside the residence had a former dating relationship.
Police are actively investigating this incident and combing through the digital evidence obtained following the search warrants executed Sunday.
Drive-by shooting
Deputy Chief Monte reported that police are awaiting results of the forensic data seized from the search warrants following the July 5 drive-by shooting on Greenwood Street.
“Complicating the investigation is the fact that the victim was invited to the party where he was shot and is not being completely forthcoming with investigators,” Deputy Chief Monte said.
As of July 22, no one was in custody.
