Shooting Reported To Sheriff’s Department Last Night

slide5slide6 Marble Quarry Rd off of Lupe Rd in Pine Grove was the scene of law enforcement activity last night when a caller to the Amador County Sheriff’s emergency dispatch personnel around 9:52PM reported he had shot a suspect after he was physically assaulted.  Amador County Sheriff Department Deputies and local CHP units converged on the location and set up a perimeter to look for the injured subject. Medics and Fire were staged on Lupe Road. After some tense moments searching for the gunshot suspect, a neighbor called the Sheriff and notified them that he was in their house seeking medical attention. The suspect was taken to a helicopter landing spot at the Church of the Nazarene on Ridge Road and flown to UC Davis. This incident in sunder investigation by the Sheriff’s Department and we expect full details later this morning.
