PORTLAND, Ore. -- Police arrested a 24-year-old man wanted for an Oct. 22 shooting in Baker City.
District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff of Baker County says investigators traveled to Portland to arrest Zachary Persicke on a charge of first-degree assault.
He is accused of shooting Jesse Rounsville in the torso. The 46-year-old Rounsville was flown to a Boise hospital, where he is expected to recover.
The case will go before a grand jury next week.
Persicke moved to Baker City about two months ago from the Everett, Wash.
Shirtcliff said police learned early this week that Persicke went to Portland after the shooting.
