(Grand Forks, ND) -- A West Fargo man is in custody after allegedly shooting a person Friday evening.
The Grand Forks Police Department tells WDAY Radio that just after 8 p.m. Friday, they were called to 3600 block of Landeco Lane for a disturbance involving several people, including according to multiple witnesses on scene a "man displaying a handgun".
When officers arrived they found a victim with a gunshot wound, and rendered aide on scene. That victim was taken to Altru Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Shortly afterward, authorities were able to identify a suspect vehicle, then placed 19-year-old Omar Deronjic under arrest.
Deronjic faces several charges, including attempted murder and three counts of terrorizing. He is being held at the Grand Forks County Correctional Center.
The investigation into the incident does remain ongoing, and anyone with more information that can help law enforcement is asked to contact Grand Forks PD at (701) 787-8000, or by submitting an online tip via the department's Facebook page, or by texting the anonymous tip via the Tip411 app.
