Woman In Custody After Domestic Shooting Near Naperville

NAPERVILLE, IL — A woman is in custody after police say she was involved in a domestic shooting in unincorporated Naperville Friday. Rosa Lagrone, 34, of Keswick Lane, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery involving the discharge of a firearm and aggravated domestic battery, in connection with the incident, which left a man injured.

Police say Lagrone fired a pistol at a 27-year-old man in her home, hitting him in his arm and torso. The man is hospitalized with a bullet lodged in his spine, according to the DuPage County Sheriff's Office.

“Just days removed from Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, we are faced with this
tragic shooting of a young man near Naperville. Domestic violence cases are up, in DuPage County,
nearly 50 percent over this same period last year and this cannot be tolerated,” Sheriff James
Mendrick said in a news release.

DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in the news release, "Domestic violence continues to be a serious problem that demands our attention. A recent article published by the American Journal of Emergency Medicine found that across the country we are seeing double-digit increases in domestic violence since the beginning of the pandemic. I urge anyone, male or female, who is the victim of domestic violence or feels they may be in an abusive relationship to seek help before something as serious as what is alleged in this case occurs. Those seeking help can contact the Family Shelter Service of Metropolitan Family Services DuPage at (630) 469-5650 or visit their website at https://www.metrofamily.org/FSSofMFSD/."

Lagrone is currently being held in DuPage County Jail on $1.5 million bail. She is set to appear in court again on Dec. 7.
