Q: Hi. I am asking for a friend. So my friend and her ex boyfriend have a house together in Beech Grove, IN. They rent
And are Both on the lease. Her 18 son was staying there until the ex kicked him out. She went back today to get her some things and the ex thought her son was with her so he took his loaded gun and went outside and fired 4 shots at the jeep thinking her son was in there but he wasn't. Her ex(the one that shot the gun) is on probation and does not have a license for the gun. Cops came talked to both of them and left. Said they would get a warrant and be back but they didn't arrest him. WHY???? PLEASE HELP!!!!
A: That would be a question for the officers who responded to the scene or their superiors. If he admitted to shooting the gun, they saw the gun and there was evidence of gun shots in the jeep, other witnesses who observed him shoot, the officers could have made an arrest. If those facts are missing, that likely explains why they did not arrest.
