One man is being treated for gunshot wounds at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek and another in custody following a shooting on a property in the 2400 block of Morgan Territory Road Thursday.
Sheriff’s deputies and Clayton police responded to the ranch property when a person called to report the shooting at approximately 7:30 p.m.
A man told police dispatchers he opened fire on another individual after the second man allegedly assaulted him, hitting him once in the shoulder.
Deputies arriving at the scene took the caller into custody without incident and found a man in his 40s nearby, suffering from two gunshot wounds – apparently to the chest and back.
Police transported the wounded man to a landing zone at the Marsh Creek Detention Facility, where he was airlifted to John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek. There was no word on his condition.
Out there in Morgan Territory, it still is the old West.
