An Elkhart man picked the wrong house to break into in Cass County on Friday. The sheriff’s office says the 34-year-old man was shot by one of the residents, 35-year-old Jonathon Niswonger, during a fight after forcing his way in, and is now at Elkhart General Hospital. Authorities have not released the name of the suspect pending his arraignment. Police talked to Niswonger and Shasta Blankenmeyer, who also lives at the Volinia Township home, shortly after the shooting and are continuing to investigate.
