Shooting In Jackson
Jackson police Officers were dispatched to a 911 call of a shooting this last Saturday at approximately 3:04 am at 1034 North Main Street in the City of Jackson. Upon arrival of the officers, one victim of an apparent gunshot wound was discovered lying on the floor inside an out-building to the rear of the main home. The out-building is described as a garage converted into a small apartment, which is where the shooting victim resides along with a 31-year-old female, who was there at the time of the call and found providing aid to the victim upon the officer’s arrival. The female reported to police personnel on the scene that the victim had shot himself. A medic unit from the American Legion Ambulance Service arrived on the scene a short time later along with fire personnel from the Jackson Fire Department and rendered emergency medical aid to the victim. The Medic Unit ordered an air ambulance. The victim was later transported to Sutter Amador Hospital and subsequently flown to a valley hospital for further treatment. As of 9:15am on Sunday, the victim was reported to be in grave condition. Jackson police detectives Chris Mynderup and Douglas Grey were called to the scene and are in charge of the investigation.
