A 77-year-old Haubstadt man is in jail, charged with murder after a triple homicide Thursday night in Gibson County.
Sheriff’s deputies responded just after 8:30 to reports of shots fired in the 12000 block of South Scottsdale Drive near Haubstadt.
When Sgt. Loren Barchett arrived, a witness directed him to the suspect—Patrick John Waite—who was taken into custody without incident.
A sweep of the home revealed three people dead and one critically injured. Four others inside were not hurt.
Medics and first responders gave life-saving aid before the critically injured victim was flown to a hospital.
Waite is being held without bond.
Multiple police and emergency agencies assisted at the scene.
