CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Sheriff’s deputies have arrested four juvenile suspects in connection with a Carson City shooting over the weekend apparently sparked by an illegal marijuana deal
The Carson City sheriff’s office says two male adults in their 20s were shot Saturday evening when the juveniles met with the victims to purchase marijuana vaping oils and cartridges.
The Nevada Appeal reports law officers responded when the victims arrived at the Carson Medical Center emergency room. One was treated for head injuries and released.
The other was flown by helicopter to Renown Medical Center in Reno for treatment of a gunshot wound to the abdomen. His condition wasn’t known Monday.
Deputies took three of the juveniles - two males and one female ages 13 to 16 - into custody Saturday night. A four juvenile was arrested Sunday.
Authorities say they’ve been booked on charges including assault with a deadly weapon, battery with intent to commit robbery, possession of a dangerous weapon by a prohibited person and conspiracy to violate the controlled substance act.
