YORBA LINDA, Calif. (AP) - Authorities in Orange County have arrested a 73-year-old man on suspicion of shooting and wounding a man walking on a trail near the Yorba Linda Reservoir.
Sheriff’s Lt. Mark Stichter says the victim was carried from the riverbed area Monday and airlifted to a hospital in unknown condition for treatment of a gunshot wound to the chest.
Stichter says deputies later arrested 73-year-old Jack Horn Jr. and investigators did not believe there were any more suspects at large. A handgun was recovered.
Horn could face charges including assault with a deadly weapon. It wasn’t immediately known if he has an attorney.
The Orange County Register says (https://bit.ly/2dpOLzo ) detectives did not identify a motive or say whether the two men know each other.
