A third Tooele man has been charged in a dispute at a mobile home park Monday afternoon that escalated into a shooting.
Seven Wilson, 18, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a weapon, a third-degree felony. Wilson was one of four men involved in the argument, that ended with a 21-year-old man being shot.
According to a probable cause statement, police responded to a call for a gunshot wound at 538 W. Spruce St. just before 4 p.m. on Monday. The victim was alert and responsive when transported to an area hospital, police said.
Chance O’Sullivan, 19, was also charged with aggravated assault with a weapon. The suspected shooter, Royce Waller, 31, was charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of an illegal weapon.
Waller told police that he shot the victim in self-defense, according to the probable cause statement. Waller, O’Sullivan and Wilson had cornered the fourth male in his mobile home, police said.
The argument allegedly centered around drugs, according to the statement. Waller had allegedly taken methamphetamine from O’Sullivan and the ensuing disagreement escalated to Wilson and O’Sullivan pulling knives on each other.
Waller left the residence and returned with a gun, which he turned on the three other men, according to the probable cause statement. When the victim lunged toward him, Waller allegedly shot the man once, according to police.
