2 dead in triple shooting near Daleville

Friday's shooting left a woman dead at a house south of Daleville. The sheriff confirmed Monday the man found with her has also died.

DELAWARE COUNTY, Indiana — The Delaware County Sheriff's Office is investigating a triple shooting that that left a woman and a man dead and another man wounded Friday night south of Daleville.

On Monday, the sheriff's office said one of the men who was shot also died from what is now believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound sustained after he shot the woman and the other man involved.

Brook Linton, 47, died Saturday afternoon at IU Health-Ball Memorial Hospital, according to the sheriff.

Investigators learned that on Friday evening, Linton was in Chesterfield, Indiana, attempting to locate Angela Clymer. He left Chesterfield and found Clymer at a house on Corner Road, between Daleville and Middletown. She was sitting on the porch with the other man, whose identity has not been shared.

Linton allegedly shot the man and Clymer. Deputies said Linton then shot himself.

Deputies were alerted to the shootings shortly after 7:40 p.m. when the man Linton shot drove himself to a Daleville business and said he had been shot. He was bleeding from his head and directed deputies to the address in the 11000 block of Corner Road where he said Clymer and Linton were shot.

The man was taken from Daleville to IU Health-Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie before he was transferred to an Indianapolis hospital for treatment. He is recovering with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the sheriff.

Deputies located Brook and Clymer lying on the porch at the Corner Road address with what appeared to be gunshot wounds.

Medics pronounced Clymer dead at the scene, while Brook was taken to Muncie in critical condition for treatment. He died Saturday at approximately 4:50 p.m., according to a sheriff's update.

The investigation is ongoing and will be turned over to the Delaware County Prosecutor's Office for review.
