(HOWE) – A Colon, Michigan man has been arrested in connection with a shooting incident in Howe, Indiana.

LaGrange County Sheriff Tracy Harker says at 4:46 PM Wednesday, LaGrange County Dispatch Center received a phone call about shots being fired in the 6800 block north of County Road 270 East.

The call said that a blue van entered a long lane on private property and a resident, who also made the call, went to check on it, driving his pickup. The van began to pull out of the property toward 700 North and stopped. The suspect exited the van and fired several rounds at the resident with an AR style rifle striking the pickup several times. The suspect then got into the van and left, heading west on County Road 700 North.

The resident was able to give dispatch the vehicle description.

The suspect traveled to the Howe Dollar General Store at 5580 North State Road 9. While there he attempted to get a customer to give him a ride. When his request was denied, he opened the customer’s passenger door and pulled a gun as he dove into the pickup. The customer ran toward the store as the suspect fell out of the driver’s side door and discharged a single round.

Officers en route to the original scene observed the van in the Dollar General parking lot and immediately detained the suspect, identified as Gregory Kurzawski of Colon.

There is no known connection to the suspect and the victim at the original scene.

Kurzawski is being charged with: attempted murder, Criminal recklessness with a Firearm, Intimidation, Armed robbery, Possession of cocaine, Dealing with a firearm, and Criminal Mischief.
