Before the shooting about 11 p.m., police say, Dawson tried to break into a car outside a Family Video Store, shot and injured a man in a nearby apartment, broke into one home, and smashed a basement window in another house. The man he shot, Ryan Rooks, suffered a minor gunshot wound to the leg. The Shelbyville officers involved in the shooting have been placed on paid leave pending an investigation.
