WY: Natrona County - Argument over Drunk Driving Leads to Defensive Gunfire, Suspect and Victim Wounded

On the evening of Saturday, July 5th, Natrona County deputies responded to a “shots fired” call at Alcova Reservoir, roughly seven miles north of the Carbon County border. Once at the scene, deputies found that a group of campers had engaged in a heated argument after several individuals tried to prevent one member from driving under the influence.

According to a media release by the Natrona County Sheriff’s Office, the intoxicated man, later identified as a Colorado resident, allegedly pointed a rifle at another individual who tried to stop him from getting into his vehicle. In response, the second male, who is from Casper, fired his handgun.

The intoxicated male with the rifle and an unidentified female bystander were each shot once in the leg. Both victims were transported to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
