On Saturday, Nov. 2, officers with the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call in regards to a shooting. The victim of the shooting, Michael Reynolds, 45, North Webster, was located in Milford. Reynolds had suffered a gunshot wound to his stomach and was taken by ambulance to Lutheran Hospital.

According to court documents, Reynolds said a woman at McCrum’s Etna Green residence had invited him over. While at an adjacent building to the residence, Reynolds said he was drinking alcohol and spending time with several people who lived at the residence, including McCrum. During that time, an argument between Reynolds and McCrum began where McCrum allegedly placed his hands on Reynolds. Reynolds said after McCrum touched him a second time, a physical fight began.

Reynolds told officers that things eventually settled down and McCrum went into the residence. McCrum then returned and shot Reynolds in the stomach. Reynolds said he crawled out to his vehicle and drove away. Reynolds suffered a shattered femur as a result of the gunshot wound.
