“Jones followed into the victim’s home, continuing to fire indiscriminately toward the victim. Although there was significant damage to the home from the bullets, the victim and his family were not injured,” Kimmitz said.
Jones then ran across the street and attempted to enter another home, but its resident did not answer after they saw Jones was armed, police said.
