On Aug. 28 at approximately 8 p.m. Scottsbluff police officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of West Overland to investigate reports of shots being fired.
"Officers were informed that a disturbance had occurred and that three subjects had fled the area following shots being fired by one or more suspects," Scottsbluff Police Captain Brian Wasson said. "One male, 18 year old of Scottsbluff, was found to have been transported privately to Regional West Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the left shoulder. The injury was not believed to be life threatening."
Officers and investigators conducted multiple interviews at the scene.
Throughout the evening and this morning, officers arrested a 16 and 17 year old man. Both were from Scottsbluff.
At 9 a.m. today officers arrested 18-year-old Ray Noel Camacho Jr. of Scottsbluff. Officers also got a search warrant at a local motel.
"Each male was arrested for attempted first degree murder, use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony and terroristic threats," Wasson said. "A charge of possession of a handgun by a minor was added to the juveniles. All three are being held at the Scotts Bluff County Jail."
The Nebraska State Patrol, Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Office, Gering Police Department, Scotts Bluff County SWAT Team, and Scottsbluff Fire Department and Valley Ambulance Service assisted with this situation.
