RIPLEY COUNTY, IN (FOX19) - Indiana State Police detectives are investigating a shooting at 4383 North County Road 225 East near Milan, the second in three days.

State Police detectives spent much of Sunday, December 4 at the same home after Ripley County Dispatch received a 911 call reporting a shooting that morning which claimed the life of 52 year old Randy Isaacs, Sr. of Greendale.

Since then state police detectives have spent much of the last three days involved in an intense investigation into that shooting. Police say that just after 4:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, 71-year-old Russell Holt, the owner of the house, shot himself. Holt was taken to University Hospital in Cincinnati in critical condition as a result of his injury.

Police say both investigations are ongoing and this is the only information investigators are releasing at this time.
