UNION CITY, Ind. — An Ohio man was arrested and charged with attempted murder after a reported shooting on Sunday evening in Union City, according to a post on the Union City Police Department’s social media page.
At around 11 p.m. on Sunday, officers from the Union City Police Department were dispatched to the 1100 block of W. State Road 28 in response to reported gunfire. When officers arrived, they were met by a woman who said she heard multiple gunshots and screaming near the Little Mississinawa River bridge.
