According to Ft. Wayne media, 22-year-old Valerie Hardiek has been charged with a Sunday shooting in Fort Wayne. Hardiek was arrested Monday in Van Wert County, the shooting victim died in the hospital on Tuesday. The gun Hardiek had on her was the same type of gun used in the weekend shooting.
The Van Wert County Sheriff's Office says deputies were called to the RoadDog Convenience Store around 10:30 Monday morning on reports of a woman who had been at the gas pumps with her vehicle for around an hour. She was reportedly trying to read other customers' credit card numbers. A second call to the sheriff's office claimed the woman had pointed a gun at someone.
