(La Porte County, IN) - A man shot multiple times in La Porte County this week is the boyfriend of the 72 year old suspected gunman’s daughter.

 

Those are among the new details to emerge in the case against Timothy Pochron.

 

Pochron is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 1 felony attempted murder and Level 3 felony aggravated battery.

 

He’s accused of shooting James Langner at a home Tuesday night in the 10-thousand block of S. County Road 1150 West near Wanatah.

 

Langner, 63, was taken by ambulance to a hospital and later airlifted to a regional trauma center with injuries described by police as life threatening, according to court documents.

 

According to court documents, the investigation shows the two men and suspect’s daughter had consumed alcoholic beverages together.

 

Langner and the woman were in their downstairs bedroom with the door open when Pochron while standing in the doorway opening displayed a handgun.

 

Court documents show Pochron made his way over to the foot of the bed where he sat down on a stool and stated “you waited too long.”  He then began firing the gun at Langner, who responded “you shot me,” according to court documents.

 

Police said the woman was applying pressure to the gunshot wounds when she told a 911 dispatcher Langner was shot in the chest and back by her father, who has “mental issues.”

 

A motive for the shooting was not revealed.

 

Police said Pochron was legally intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of .09 percent.

 

According to court documents, a .38 caliber revolver containing four spent shell casings was recovered from the residence.  Pochron could face anywhere from a 20 to 40 year sentence on the most serious count.
