“Police located the vehicle and three men were taken into custody. The suspects were located in possession of $6,300 in cash, 2 ounces of fentanyl, a sawed-off shotgun and a prohibited hand gun.”

Kronebusch says two of the men are known to police and are being held in custody pending a court appearance, while a third suspect has been released pending a future court date.

He says it appeared to be a targeted attack as the suspects and the victim are believed to be known to each other.

Kronebusch says the victim suffered minor injuries.
