ELBA, Minn. — Seven shots fired at a woman parking her car on Main Street came from a house facing the street, Sheriff Ron Ganrude said. A woman at the house, Ava Leone Kock, age 64, has been arrested. The sheriff said investigators noticed holes in Kock’s front screen door in a quick sweep of the neighborhood late Tuesday night. But the investigators moved on, giving priority to the possibility the shooter was on the loose and a continuing armed threat. After a helicopter, drone and blood-hound search yielded nothing, deputies returned to Kock’s house to ask about the screen door. Later, armed with a search warrant, they found a 22-calibre rifle in the house. Kock was arrested. Sheriff Ganrude said there remains no evidence that Kock and the 34-year-old target knew each other except casually. Neither, he said, is there evidence of alcohol or drugs as factors. In short, the motivation remains a mystery. Meanwhile, the victim is healing from face wounds from bullet debris in her car door and her bullet-shattered windshield.
