BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A man is facing attempted murder and other felony counts after police say he shot two people in Bloomington last month.




According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, 36-year-old Jerry Jackson has been arrested after detectives identified him as the suspect in a double shooting that occurred on June 18 in the 4600 block of S. College Drive.

According to previous reports, the shooting left a 35-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds. MCSO said both of the victims received medical treatment at an area hospital and are expected to fully recover.
