Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office Continues Investigating Home Shooting

Continuing coverage on the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office investigation on a kidnapping plot that ended with a man dead and a woman injured. The deadly shooting happened Friday at a home in Long Lake Township in Grand Traverse County.

Now Ashley Peretiatko is accused of assault with a dangerous weapon, felony firearm and conspiracy to kidnap her own kids.

Her husband, David Peretiatko, is dead.

Ashley’s father says he let her stay because she was homeless.

He and his wife have custody of Ashley and David’s children.

But then he heard that David might be coming back.

When he went downstairs to check, David was already inside pointing a gun at him.

Court documents say her father shot and killed him.

He went back upstairs to grab another gun, and when he came back down, his daughter was the one with the gun in his face.

Robert Cooney, the county prosecutor say, “There are no other charges at this time, but police are investigating the circumstances of the shooting primarily we are awaiting the outcome of an autopsy.”

Right now Ashley is at U of M Hospital in Ann Arbor recovering from gunshot wounds.

When she’s released, she will be charged with the crimes.

David was also wanted for murder in Las Vegas.
