Shooting Near China Hat Sends One To The Hospital

BEND, OR -- A fight between two unhoused campers near China Hat Road sent one man to the hospital Sunday afternoon. Deschutes County deputies responded to the area south of Bend at about 4 p.m., when a 911 caller reported someone had been shot. Dispatchers say the person refused to provide any other information, although they were able to determine the general location of the call. 

When deputies arrived, they learned a 32-year-old man had been taken to the hospital by ambulance, with a non-life threatening injuries. Investigators determined two men who live in the area were arguing when one brandished a gun. The other man, a 36-year-old, then armed himself. He shot the 32-year-old, striking his hand and stomach. 

The investigation is ongoing, and the identities of the two men involved have not been released.
