A Tuesday shootout in Golden Valley that sent two men to the hospital remains under investigation by the Mohave County Sheriff’s office. Officers responded in force at 2:47 p.m. to a report that at least one man had been shot in the 4200 block of N. Estrella Rd.
“Deputies and detectives located the first male subject and observed the gunshot wound,” said sheriff’s office spokeswoman Anita Mortensen. “A sweep of the property was conducted and the second male subject was located and was also found to have a gunshot wound.”
Mortensen said both men were transported to Kingman Regional Medical Center for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.
“Initial investigation indicates that he males, who live on the same property, were arguing when the argument turned physical, leading to both men firing weapons at one another,” she said. “The investigation is ongoing to determine who the primary aggressor was.”
Undersheriff Ed Trafecanty said detectives are trying to better determine the sequence of events to decide whether its appropriate file criminal charges against one or both men or neither of them.
