Attempted Murder Charges in Host Shooting

7

This story began back in December when we reported Bob & Tom cast member Ron Sexton was shot at while driving his car. The man accused of shooting at him has been charged with attempted murder.

WTRH TV in Indianapolis is reporting that Paul Berkemeier shot at an SUV driven by Sexton on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Sexton told police he believed he knew the shooter.

The TV station reports that court documents show that Sexton told police he drove to Indianapolis after performing in Portland, Indiana and made plans to meet Berkemeier’s wife, with whom he was having an affair. Sexton, who is also married, referred to Mrs. Berkemeier as his “girlfriend” during an interview with detectives. Documents also show that Sexton met Berkemeier’s wife at a bar then left in separate cars a short time later.

Sexton told police as he was driving a vehicle pulled up on his left and he recognized the driver as Paul Berkemeier, the husband of the woman he was having an affair with. Sexton says Berkemeier raised a gun and shot at his rental vehicle. Sexton’s face was hit with shattered glass.

WTRH reports that court documents show that Berkemeier’s wife corroborated the story, that her husband became angry when he found out she left their home near Shelbyville to meet up with Sexton.

Berkemeier will make his first court appearance tomorrow.

  1. Let’s stop the victim shaming and shame the meth head shooter! Unless you deem another person as property, which is illegal, shooting to protect it or yourself is the only. legal reason to shoot someone, not going out and trying to assassinate someone on the basis of infidelity because Meth keeps you from doing your husband duties in the bedroom!

    And for God’s sake get the call letters right for your source like a professional news gathering site key! It’s WTHR you numbskulls! Jesus!

  2. Been there and done that. We stopped seeing each other before someone got hurt. But I still love her as she does me forty some years later. I’m now a widower but she is still married still waiting on the day she might become available.

      • My comment was to “Butch” who participated in an affair 40 years ago, whose wife died not knowing what a piece of shit she married, and who is still pining for his cheating partner, whom he narcisistically believes still loves him 40 years after their selfish affair, which Butch claims ended before “anyone” got hurt. Guess he didn’t consider their marriage partners to be people.

  3. ..he thinks now that he’s got a little bit of Fame he can’t get got.. guess what… Play stupid games with another man’s wife.. win stupid prizes…
