Bronx resident Raymond L. Laudo was arrested on Wednesday, June 28, and charged with assaulting and strangling a victim at a residence in Somers, according to New York State Police.

Laudo's arrest resulted from an incident that happened on Tuesday, June 13, when state troopers were sent to a residence on Summit Circle for a reported domestic dispute involving a gun. 

Once they arrived at the residence, troopers found Laudo suffering from a gunshot wound to his arm, and the home's resident suffering from blunt force trauma to the head. Both were then taken to Westchester Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries and eventually released. 

An investigation into the incident eventually determined that Laudo had forcibly entered the home and violently assaulted the victim with a metal pipe before the victim fired a round from a .22 caliber rifle in self-defense, hitting Laudo's arm. 

As a result, Laudo was arrested and charged with: 

  • First-degree burglary;
  • Second-degree assault;
  • Second-degree strangulation;
  • Fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon;
  • Second-degree menacing.

Laudo was arranged in the Town of Somers Court and released on a $25,000 bail. He will again appear in court on Monday, July 17 at 5:30 p.m. 

In addition to state police, both the Town of Somers and the Town of North Salem Police Departments helped in the response to the incident.
