(LaPorte County, IN) - Two horses were shot last evening in LaPorte County. The victim says one of the horses had to be put down. Dawn Forney says her family has six horses off Route 6 south of Kingsford Heights.

When only four came back for the night, she says her 15-year-old son Brandon went looking for the other two and found one shot between the eyes. Forney says the other horse was shot in the mouth.

Due to a leg injury that somehow occurred, she says they’re not sure if that horse will survive.

Forney says shooting for target practice often occurs in that area but she does not believe her horses were shot by accident.
