LACONIA — No charges have yet been filed in connection to Monday's shooting incident on Dixon Street, according to Belknap County Attorney Andrew Livernois.
According to residents on Dixon Street, a heated argument between a pair of allegedly intoxicated men and another resident ended in a single gunshot. One witness described the resident as standing on his porch and firing a weapon after one of the men, Cody Ellis, moved toward him. The bullet struck Ellis in the shoulder, exited out the back, and then penetrated the door of a white Nissan pickup truck parked in front of the residence.
A neighbor armed with a towel and trauma kit rendered first aid until emergency responders were able to transport the victim to Concord Hospital-Laconia.
According to a public Facebook post by Ellis' girlfriend, Haley Barton, Ellis was stable and has a broken arm, shoulder and shoulder blade as of Tuesday afternoon.
Barton wrote, “This all started because of being yelled at to slow down [on] our road, kids live here!”
According to Laconia Police Chief Matthew Canfield, no one is in custody and there is no further danger to the public.
The incident is still under investigation.
