Death In A Silver Pickup


"VALPARAISO, IN - One local man is dead and another is in critical condition after a shooting that police say did not involve anyone else.

"Aaron Blum, 32, of Morgan Township, was found dead at about 10:14 a.m. Monday from an apparent gunshot, according to a Porter County Sheriff's Police release. He was found in a silver pickup truck on County Road 575E just north of U.S. 30. His father, James Blum, 67, also of Morgan Township, was also found in the truck with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to Porter hospital and was in critical condition as of Monday evening.

"`He's in pretty bad shape,` Lt. Chris Eckert said of James Blum.

"Police are waiting until today's autopsy before saying anymore about who they think shot the gun, which was recovered at the scene. However, Eckert said they do not think anyone else was involved in the shooting.

"Police began looking for Aaron and James Blum after James' wife reported them missing Sunday night."
