Carson City authorities responded tonight to a shooting where a 31-year-old man took a gunshot wound to the knee. The shooting happened at around 7 this evening near Mills Park and there are apparently no suspects.
Authorities have confiscated a 45-caliber semi-automatic gun that was found inside the man's vehicle, said Sheriff Ken Furlong.
The victim, whose name has not being released, was apparently having a problem with someone else and felt it was necessary to carry a gun. No one else was inside the vehicle. The man was discovered by friends, Furlong said.
The victim was treated by paramedics and transported by CareFlight from Mills Park.
The man, from Dayton who has recently moved to Carson City, was reportedly being uncooperative with authorities, Furlong said. The case is under investigation.
