Another shooting
http://www.sacbee.com/2011/08/28/386...lman-shot.html

FORT BRAGG, Calif. -- Authorities are searching for a gunman in the woods of Mendocino County after a Fort Bragg City councilman was shot and killed.

Sheriff's officials say Jere Melo was shot around 10 a.m. Saturday as he and another man walked through a rugged area of timber company land about four miles outside of Fort Bragg.

The man walking with Melo was able to escape unhurt and called for help on his cell phone. His name has not been released.

Sheriff's deputies, California Highway Patrol officers, Fort Bragg police and a SWAT team all responded to the area.

Officials have identified the suspected gunman as Aaron Bassler, a man they're describing as a "transient."

Investigators have not released any additional information about the suspect, or a possible motive for the shooting.

Well not exactly "caught", but a proper end to the problem.

Glad they got him. I wonder if the suspect was being payed by someone to guard their marajuana patch when he shot councilman Melo.
