WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The West Sacramento Police Department said a man has been hospitalized and is in critical, but stable condition after a shooting Saturday night.
Officers responded to reports of a shooting around 11:30 p.m. to the 1000 block of West Capitol Avenue. They found a 32-year-old man, a Rancho Cordova resident, with a gunshot wound in his chest. He was transported to a local hospital where he had surgery and is in critical, but stable condition.
Cassandra Bluford, who identified herself as the victim's ex-girlfriend, said he was in the operating room for about three hours but is now doing OK.
She doesn't know why her ex-boyfriend was shot, and she doesn't know who the suspect is.
“I was afraid because my kids were in the room... I didn’t know she was going to shoot at us, the room or what,” Bluford said.
A 51-year-old Sacramento resident named Leaetta Montgomery was found near the area and was arrested on suspicion of being involved in the shooting, according to police.
