Arrest Made in Sheldon Shooting as reported this noon by Channel 3 News:

Sheldon, Vermont - August 19, 2005

A Sheldon man is in jail after pleading not guilty to charges in connection with a shooting early this morning.

Police say around three this morning 33-year-old Timothy Callan drove by the home of Billie Harrness and fired a shot into the house. The bullet struck a piece of furniture.

Authorities say Callan turned his vehicle around and then began firing more shots at the residence. None of them hit the home and no one was injured.

After a brief police chase, Callan crashed his car into a telephone poll. A high-power rifle was seized from the vehicle. Callan was then placed under arrest.

"I don't remember why I did it, I don't like the Harrness's," said Callan as he was put into a police cruiser.

Police are investigating whether this morning's shooting was in retaliation for the murder last month of Kenny Jerome, a friend of Callan's.
