A Rock Springs man is in custody after a shots-fired incident north of Rock Springs.
Sweetwater County Sheriff Rich Haskell said deputies were dispatched just after midnight on March 13 to a mobile home park on Gannett Drive in response to reports of gunfire. Callers said multiple shots were fired and the deputies’ investigation led to a particular residence, where a spent 7.62x39 mm rifle cartridge casing was found on the stairs leading to the front door.
Once inside the residence, deputies made contact with Carlos L. Salazar, 24, who was reportedly intoxicated. Salazar told county officers that he’d been drinking and had “grabbed his AK-47 and loaded approximately 4 rounds into the magazine and fired them through the open front doorway of the residence in the direction of the empty field across Gannett Drive.”
No injuries resulted from the gunfire, and Salazar was arrested for Reckless Endangering. Deputies recovered Salazar’s AK-47 assault rifle and five spent 7.62x39 mm cartridge casings found near the front door.
Salazar appeared in Circuit Court in Rock Springs on Monday where Judge Dan Forgey set his bond at $500, cash or surety.
