MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (WNDU) – A Michigan City man is facing multiple charges after police say he seriously injured another person in a shooting earlier this week.

Martino Eldridge, 33, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and criminal recklessness. He is being held in the LaPorte Jail on $100,000 bail.

Officers were called to a home in the 100 block of Hendricks Street just before 7 p.m. Wednesday. While en route, they say they received a second call from someone inside the home who told them they had been shot.

When officers arrived, they saw Eldridge running from the home and quickly apprehended him. They then say they found a person inside the home suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

The victim, who has not been identified, was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries but was eventually transferred to a Chicago hospital for advanced medical treatment.

Eldridge is scheduled to make his first court appearance next Monday.
