Evansville Police Sgt. Mark Saltzman said one person was
shot with a revolver in the left side of his chest. Saltzman says the shooter
and the victim know each other and have a long-standing personal dispute.
Three people tackled the gunman and got the gun out of his
hands. They held him down until police arrived. That’s when he was taken into
custody.

the vehicle was connected to the incident.
