RENO, Nev. -- Washoe County Sheriff's officials and members of the Regional Gang Unit arrested the man they say shot a 32-year-old early Thursday morning.

The shooting happened at about 1:18am Thursday, January 17 in the 4400 block of El Rancho Drive, which is in the Sun Valley area of Sparks. The victim went to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. That's when Sheriff's Deputies were called to investigate.
