Shooting In Sheridan

A man was shot after an apparent attempted home break-in near Sheridan.

Deputies were called to house on Bowen Road west of Sheridan this morning at 5 o’clock about a residential burglary and shooting.  The homeowner tells deputies he woke up after hearing breaking glass and someone attempting to break into his front door.  He confronted two people and fired one shot from a .45 caliber pistol after no one responded.  The shot apparently hit a man who was found by deputies lying outside the house.

The shooting victim was taken to Ottawa Regional Hospital.  He’s not being identified.

The La Salle County Sheriff’s Office says more information will be released later.
