Local news reports

Preble County authorities said Thursday a shooting incident that injured a burglary suspect Tuesday evening near the Indiana-Ohio border was accidental.

Preble County Sheriff Mike Simpson said Thursday morning neighbors who were attempting to detain Stephen Gaskey until authorities arrived became involved in an altercation with the burglary suspect when a gun fired, striking Gaskey in the leg.


“We don’t think it was purposeful,” Simpson said of the gunshot. “Based on what witnesses said, there was an altercation and there was an accidental discharge of the weapon.”


Neighbors on State Line Road noticed a suspicious vehicle driving up and down the street at about 9 p.m. Tuesday before they saw it parked at 3680 State Line Road.


When they went to check the residence, the neighbors noticed a flashlight shining inside the home, Simpson said.


“They waited for the suspect to come outside, and he was carrying property,” Simpson said. “One of the individuals was armed for protection, and they were attempting to detain the suspect when an altercation took place in the ditch across the street from the home.”

  2. Oh look, Thomas makes another stupid set of assumptions. He was more likely a red-state unemployed ignorant ass, who - given the statistical probability of the failed economic policies and political majority - was simply displaying the right wing tendency to see themselves as victims (boo hoo).

    Thomas then goes on to demonstrate the vigilante justice notions that make him an unfit and unlawful gun owner.

    If this was an accidental shooting, it also goes to show how UNSAFE gun carriers are. If it was a deliberate shooting, it also goes to show how unsafe gun carriers are.

    1. Do you even bother to read, Dog Gone? The criminal here is someone who broke parole and was classified as an escapee. But hey, you wouldn't ever want a felon to get hurt during the commission of his unlawful occupation.

  3. This scumbag from Hammond, IN has been in and out of jails and prisons since his early teens. He is an accomplished burglar and home-invader and lives to use crack. Watch out for this little son of a bitch. He'll rob you blind. He has a brother Tony who is just as "talented". What ever happened to "3 strikes" laws? The shooter should have done society a big favor by shooting him dead!
