A Corunna area man was arrested by the Indiana State Police Criminal Investigation Division late Monday on a charge of attempted murder in connection with a shooting early Sunday.

The DeKalb County Sheriff's Department received a call shortly before 1:30 a.m. Sunday that 51-year-old Larry D. Daley, had been shot in the 500 block of County Road 20 in rural Corunna.

State police Detective Mark Heffelfinger reported that an argument between Daley and an acquaintance over money turned violent.

Richard L. Leins, 59, of Corunna is accused of shooting Daley multiple times with a .22 caliber semiautomatic rifle.
