CROWN POINT â A Gary man was convicted Thursday of several counts and acquitted of others in connection with a shooting in Gary in 2019 described by prosecutors as a family s nightmare of violence.
William D. Galloway Jr., 28, of Gary, stood trial this week on allegations he shot a woman four times, attempted to rob and shoot her son Sean Baker, and fired a gun through a window at a pregnant woman and her then-6-year-old child Sept. 18, 2019, at a home in the 2500 block of Pierce Street.
Jurors deliberated about three hours before convicting Galloway of one count of attempted murder for shooting at Baker, one count of aggravated battery for shooting and wounding Baker s relative, and three counts of criminal recklessness.
