Law enforcement officers continue searching for whoever shot and wounded a volunteer Placer County Search and rescue team member near Nevada City this evening. The incident is taking place along the South Yuba River Trail about two miles from the town of Washington. The Nevada County Sheriff's office says someone fired shots toward a group of three Placer County Search and Rescue Team volunteer members hitting one of those searchers in the hip. Nevada County Sheriff's Captain, Paul Schmidt says the two uninjured search team members who were hiding have been extricated by a C-H-P helicopter: Schmidt says the wounded searcher has been stabilized and is being carried on a stretcher to an area where a helicopter can extract the person. The shooter has not been located. The search team was in the area searching for a 71-year-old man who has been missing in the area for about a week. REMSA was earlier dispatched to the area and RAVEN was on standby to respond.

The hospitalization of an inmate with a possible life-threatening condition, at the Washoe County Detention Facility August 4th, has developed into an investigation of the Washoe County Sheriff's Office by the Sparks Police Department. The inmate was taken in August 3rd on misdemeanor charges, and was treated and released for an unknown condition at Renown before he was sent to the facility. About a day later, the inmate was taken back to Renown due to erratic behavior. Following a second check and an all clear from doctors at Renown, the inmate was sent back to the facility again, and en route became unresponsive. Sheriff Chuck Allen made the call to Sparks PD to investigate the incident as an uninvolved agency.

Beetler has been missing since July 27.
