“(The victim) stated that (the suspect) became upset and started throwing things at (his wife),” the report says. “When she attempted to run away from him towards the east side of the house, (the man) chased after her and began to punch (her) in the head.”
The suspect could not be located Monday night and was not arrested, so the Springfield News-Sun is not immediately naming him.
When the victim tried to stop the suspect, the police report says the suspect took out a black semi-automatic pistol and pointed it at the victim.

The man fired two more shots and got into an altercation with the victim before leaving the scene, according to the report.
