HUNTERTOWN – HUNTERTOWN - The Allen County Sheriff's Department is investigating an apparent shooting in Huntertown that left one woman dead.
Police were called to a home in the 15000 block of Hunter's Lane off Indiana 3, south of Gump Road, about 10:40 p.m. Sunday on a report of a shooting.
Officers found a woman, 34, dead of apparent gunshot wounds inside the home, sheriff's spokesman Cpl. Jeremy Tinkel said.
By the time officers arrived, the suspect, a 38-year-old man, had already left the scene in a vehicle. Indiana State Police made contact with him in DeKalb County sometime before midnight, sheriff's department officials said, declining to elaborate on what that meant.
Tinkel said a long gun was used in the shooting that stemmed from a domestic dispute. He said the suspect and victim had been in some sort of relationship.
Chief Deputy Dave Gladieux said there may have been others in the home at the time of the shooting. He said the report of the shooting came from the home. No other injuries were reported.
Late Sunday, yellow tape cordoned off the front yard of the one-story ranch-style home as investigators descended on the scene.
The woman's name was not released pending family notification.
