LONGVIEW — A late afternoon shooting at a West Longview trailer park sent one man to the hospital with gunshot wounds and another to the Gregg County Jail.
Gregg County sheriffs deputies were dispatched to the Riverside RV Park in the 3700 block of Texas 42 just after 3 p.m. Wednesday for a reported shooting.
Gregg County officials said they could not confirm the name of the victim or the man who was arrested, but said a man was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries for a gunshot wound to the leg. Initial radio reports indicated the victim had been shot twice in the leg.
Officers were advised the victim and man arrested both lived at the RV park, 10 lots away from one another.
This is the second call sheriffs deputies have responded to in the past nine months for a shooting at the RV park.
Officers were dispatched to the park July 21 after 34-year-old Brian Keith Barnett was found shot in the head near his trailer. James Nathan Alexander, 34, was arrested a few days after Barnetts death after an attorney arranged for him to surrender.
Alexander was released from Gregg County Jail on $100,000 bond after two days. He was indicted in October for murder and is awaiting a trial date.
