Ind. Courts - Still more on "LaPorte deputy prosecutor shot"
"Officials release 911 tape in judge-elect's shooting" is the headline to this story today in the NWI Times, reported by Stan Maddux. The story includes a link to the tape of the 911 call. From the story:
LAPORTE | A recording of 911 calls placed after LaPorte Superior Court Judge-elect Jennifer Evans was shot reveals her husband sounding emotionally shaken and much relieved when informed help was on the way.With authorities remaining tight lipped about how the shooting occurred due to the ongoing investigation, the audio released by LaPorte County 911 Director Brent Sollar shed some light on the chain of events. * * *
With follow-up questions still coming from the dispatcher, Koethe said the shot was fired from ''our weapon.'' He said guns in the home were put away for a baby sitter over earlier that night.
After returning home, Koethe said the mishap occurred while he and Evans were bringing the guns out of hiding.
''We were putting them back out to protect ourselves and it fired," Koethe said.
