Natrona County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting at Alcova Reservoir Saturday night after an argument among campers over an intoxicated driver's actions led an intoxicated Colorado man to allegedly point a rifle at a Casper man — who fired his handgun— injuring the Colorado man and a female bystander; the male victim was released Monday while the woman remains hospitalized with a non-life-threatening leg wound.

On Saturday, July 5, deputies responded to reports of gunshots at Alcova Lake where an altercation among campers led to two people sustaining non-life-threatening leg injuries — an intoxicated man allegedly aimed a rifle at another man, prompting a handgun discharge as deputies detained the shooter and continued the investigation.
