Elderly Man Arrested For Assault With A Deadly Weapon

November 21, 2016 By sdcnews

RAMONA–An elderly man was arrested for allegedly shooting from inside his home, striking a resident in his leg, Sheriff’s deputies said Friday.

Ramona Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to a radio call of a shooting in the 1200 block of H Street in Ramona. When deputies arrived, they located an injured victim, who identified the suspect as 86-year-old Don Aspin.

Deputies were told that the suspect was inside the residence and was armed with a handgun and a rifle. Reportedly, the suspect fired several rounds from inside his bedroom, though his bedroom door and one of the rounds struck the victim in the leg. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of an injury that is not considered to be life threatening.

Sheriff’s ASTREA and deputies from the Poway Station responded and assisted with setting up a perimeter. Deputies made several PA announcements for Aspin to come out of the residence. After approximately twenty minutes, Aspin exited the residence and was taken into custody. There were no reports of injuries to additional citizens or deputies.

Aspin was transported to the San Diego Central Jail and booked for assault with a deadly weapon.
