A 52-year-old man was shot during a home invasion early Saturday in unincorporated McHenry.

Police found the man shot and seriously wounded about 1 a.m. inside his home in the 1800 block of Davis Avenue, according to a statement from the McHenry County sheriff’s office.

A witness said they saw two males enter the home, shoot the man and steal cash before driving off in a dark-colored pick-up truck, according to the sheriff’s office. The suspects were described as a white male and a black male who both covered their faces with bandanas.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at (815) 338-2144.

Why did Harry Caray always say ‘Holy Cow?’ It could be linked to a 1930s flying bovine. No bull!

In 1930, a 15-year-old Harry Caray was living in St. Louis when the city hosted an aircraft exhibition honoring aviator Charles Lindbergh. “The ‘first ever’ cow to fly in an airplane was introduced at the exhibition,” said Grant DePorter, Harry Caray restaurants manager. “She became the most famous cow in the world at the time and is still listed among the most famous bovines along with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow and ‘Elsie the cow.’”
