Original Post:

On Monday, March 26th at approximately 4:28 PM, Mendocino County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a reported gunshot victim who had been transported to the Redwood Coast Medical Services facility located in Gualala.

Responding deputies learned that there had been an altercation between neighbors in the 35000 block of South Highway 1 in Anchor Bay, which resulted in one subject being shot by the other. As the investigation continued, it was learned that during a dispute the two persons, Paul Palestrini 62 years of age, and Harry Miller 69 years of age were in a physical altercation, during which, Miller shot Palestrini in the torso and Palestrini struck Miller with a shovel.  The dispute was apparently over an easement on a shared driveway.

Both subjects received significant injuries and both were subsequently transported, via air ambulances, to a Sonoma County hospital where they are listed in stable condition. At this time the investigation is ongoing and it has not been determined if there was a primary aggressor of the incident.

UPDATED INFORMATIONDuring this investigation, it was determined that the suspect, Harry William Miller, a 69 year old white male from Anchor Bay California, produced a firearm during a dispute over easement access, and shot the victim, Paul Palestrini, a 62 year old white male from Anchor Bay, without provocation. After shooting the victim, the suspect attempted to shoot the wife of the victim, Desiree Palestrini, a 32 year old white female from Anchor Bay. Paul Palestrini suffered a life threatening gunshot wound and was flown to an out of county hospital where he remains in critical condition at this time.

Miller, after shooting the victim, suffered severe injuries as well from the victim defending his own life. Miller was flown to an out of county hospital. On 03/29/18 Miller was released from the hospital and surrendered himself to the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office where he was booked in the Mendocino County for two counts of attempted murder, and an enhancement of personal use of a firearm, causing great bodily injury. Miller’s bail is set at $750,000.

Any persons with information about this incident are encouraged to contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center at 707-463-4086 or call the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 707-234-2100.

It doesn’t fully matter. As a police report update it was probably just copied verbatim. Kym does not go out of her way to point those things out, however you did.

We need to know so we can regulate their demographic from purchasing shovels and guns til the age of 70 when they become responsible.

You are very ignorant & uncaring. A man is critically injured & his wife injured also. And you comment on the age of these people? What is WRONG with you.? Did your dear mother teach you nothing?9

In all fairness to the sauce, I highly doubt whatever he says in the comments section here will have any real life impact on said person or his wife.

The guy inflicted serious injury with a shovel after getting seriously shot. That’s what he’s got a 30yo wife. That’s a real gangsta

I`d like to know what that guy eats! He`s married to a 32 year old babe. He gets shot, then beats the hell out of the guy who shot him. Way to go Mr. Palestrini!

What makes you say that? Because everyone should be with someone exactly their own age and be big [edit] who don’t defend themselves?

The thought has crossed my mind regarding some of our new neighbors that like tearing up our road and not chip it in on dues, I guess I’d better make sure they don’t have a shovel;<)
