GRASS VALLEY, Calif. — A Grass Valley woman was hospitalized Monday after being shot multiple times, and the suspect is dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office, it unfolded around 3 p.m. Monday at a home on Conifer Lane.
One of the 911 callers reported needing medical help for a gunshot wound to the neck. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
