RENO -- A Reno man is in custody tonight, charged with one count each of Battery with a Deadly Weapon and Assault with a Deadly Weapon stemming from an incident which took place at the 16^th hole of the Lakeridge Golf Course yesterday afternoon.

Reno Police first received a call yesterday at about 3:35 p.m., with several other people calling soon after to report that a man had been shot on the golf course.  The course had to be evacuated as officers attempted to remove the injured man and locate the gunman.  As officers surrounded a house on Wycliffe Circle which witnesses indicated as the location of the shooter, it was discovered the man had driven to a local attorney’s office where he subsequently surrendered to police without further incident. 

At this time, it appears the altercation began when one of two golfers playing the 16^th hole accidentally struck the man’s home with an errant golf ball, breaking a window.  The man exited his home with a shotgun and at some point during the ensuing argument, fired once at the golfers, striking one of them.  The 33-year-old man who was shot was taken to a local hospital with very minor wounds and was treated and released.

The shooter has been identified as 59-year-old  Jeff Feleming.
