Deputies respond to a domestic fight with a shot fired north of West Lafayette

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A domestic argument Thursday morning turned to a fight, turned to a woman asking for help from her ex-husband, which later resulted in a shotgun being fired, according Tippecanoe County sheriff's Capt. Terry Ruley.

No one was injured by the shotgun blast, but deputies spent the morning and early afternoon trying to untangle the facts from the emotional stories of the people involved.

When they'd done that, 22-year-old Devin M. Dziedzic went to jail accused of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon.

Dziedzic and his girlfriend started fighting Thursday morning inside their mobile home at 4331 Indiana 43 North, lot 4, and the girlfriend called her ex-husband for help and a ride away from the home, Tippecanoe County sheriff's Capt. Terry Ruley said.

The ex-husband showed up with two friends to find the woman involved in the domestic fight standing outside the mobile home, Ruley said.

That's when Dziedzic stepped from the home with a shotgun. He fired one round from the gun near the woman, her ex-husband and his friends, Ruley said.

Deputies were dispatched at 10:58 a.m. Thursday after the woman's mother called 911, Ruley said. She also was en route to the small mobile home park to rescue her daughter, Ruley said. When her cellphone call with her daughter abruptly ended, she called 911.

At the prompting of dispatchers, the woman in the domestic fight, her ex-husband and his friends drove to the Tippecanoe County Amphitheater just north of the small mobile home park and awaited deputies, Ruley said.

With the parties separated, deputies began sorting through the morning's events.

Shortly after noon, Deputy Beth Kidwell said two men have been detained.

Dziedzic later was arrested.

Ruley said the woman in the fight became ill while at the amphitheater, and medics rushed her to a hospital for treatment.
