SHERIDAN – Two people were killed and one person injured after being shot allegedly by a Sandwich man on Tuesday. According to the LaSalle County Sheriff’s department, on Tuesday night just before 10 p.m., Sheridan and Sandwich Police were called to the 800 block of West Church Street for an attempted break-in of the residence. The caller stated the windows of the residence had allegedly been shot out. The victim, 37-year-old Janelle Johnson, who was injured from glass fragments as a result of the gunshots, stated to authorities she believed the suspect was her ex-husband. The subject allegedly fled the area, but a black Cadillac parked in the victim’s driveway was found by police upon arrival to the scene. As the search continued, Johnson attempted to contact her parents and later learned through a neighbor that her parents were reportedly unresponsive. Deputies say when they arrived at Johnson’s parent’s house in rural Sheridan, both parents 62-year-old Gregory and Brenda Barnes were shot and pronounced dead at the scene. It was later discovered that the suspect was Johnson’s ex-husband, 37-year-old Donald A. Fredres of Sandwich. On Wednesday morning, Fredres was apprehended outside of Sheridan, north of the Sheridan Correctional Center. He was taken into custody without incident. Charges are pending with the LaSalle County State’s Attorney’s Office.
