The Sac County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) are investigating a shooting that took place at around 12:30-a.m. Wednesday, at a residence in Lake View. The victim was identified as 55-year old Richard Vossberg, of Lake View. Vossberg was transferred to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Authorities say Vossberg was shot by an unknown man that showed-up at his home. After examining the crime scene and conducting interviews, law enforcement concluded Vossberg had been targeted by the assailant, and that there is no general threat to the public.

Authorities however, encourage the public to report any suspicious activity, no matter how insignificant it may appear to be. Anyone with information about the Lake View incident is asked to contact the Sac County Sheriff’s Office at 712-662-7127.
