Woman Shot Twice in Chest at Olympian's NJ Equestrian Center
A woman was shot repeatedly and a man was hurt in a shooting at an Olympian’s equestrian center in New Jersey this week, authorities say.
Michael Barisone, 54, of Washington Township, faces attempted murder and weapons charges in Wednesday's shooting at the equestrian center on West Mill Road in Morris County. According to NJ.com, he owns and operates the 53-acre property and is a former member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic dressage team.
Few other details were immediately available, but authorities say cops responded to the sprawling property around 2:15 p.m. Wednesday after someone called 911 to report a woman had been shot.
Authorities say she had been shot multiple times, but they didn't elaborate more on her wounds. Emergency correspondence indicated she had been shot twice in the chest. Barisone and a second male victim were found at the scene; a handgun was recovered.
Details on the male victim weren't clear, nor was any update on the woman's condition immediately available. It also wasn't known if Barisone had an attorney. Anyone with information is asked to call the Washington Township Police Department at 908-876-3232.
