A man has been arrested in Susanville on multiple charges including attempted murder.
Officers with the Susanville Police Department responded to reports of a gunshot victim on Hall Street around 4:40 p.m. on Sunday.
When officers arrived they found a 31-year-old man with what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds to the body.
Police provided medical assistance alongside members of the Susanville Fire Department and the man was taken to a hospital in Reno by air ambulance.
A description of the suspect was obtained by officers. The suspect's car had left the area and information was broadcast to all local law enforcement.
A citizen listening to scanners heard the information and called the dispatch center to report seeing the car and suspect on Gail Way.
With the help of the Lassen County Sheriff's Office and California Highway Patrol, a perimeter was set up around a home on Gail Way. The people in the home were ordered out of the home, and 43-year-old Susanville resident William Michael Trujillo was taken into custody without incident.
A search of the home uncovered hidden guns.
Trujillo was taken to the Lassen County Jail and charged with attempted murder, felon in possession of firearms, possession of stolen property, and being a prohibited person in possession of ammunition.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Warner or Officer Monahan of the Susanville Police Department at (530) 257-5603.
