On Saturday, a wounded young man called the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communications Center telling them he had been shot in the head and needed an ambulance on Humboldt Hill. Deputies began searching the area and couldn’t locate him. Meanwhile, a group of teenagers found the wounded man alongside Hwy 101 at the King Salmon offramp.

According to Tanner Hall, he, his girlfriend, his younger sister, and her boyfriend were driving on Hwy 101 when something off the main road caught his eye. “We were heading southbound on 101 when right on the other side from the Tiptop [Club]. I saw a movement over the bank,” he said. “I yelled, ‘Stop the car…I went down there. There was some dude laying in the offramp.”

Hall said the man “had to be late teens and early twenties.” He added, “He was about my age or a little older…He was going in and out of shock. He had a pretty good sized wound in the back of his head.”

One of the teenagers called 911.

According to Samantha Karges, spokesperson for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, “The subject was transported to a local hospital and it was determined that he had not been shot in the head, but did have some sort of head injury.”

Karges explained that deputies have had trouble getting information on the source of the wound. “The man became uncooperative at the hospital,” she explained. “We have no outstanding suspects at this time, however, sheriff’s deputies are still investigating this incident.”

Don’t worry Tanner. That’s what Humboldt has been reduced to. Assuming they know everything and that its always drug. Thank God for you guys stopping and helping even if the injured person turns out to be a less desirable person. You did what was right and moral. We need more people like you here. Thank you

I heard someone from the loco weather thread got banned for doxing and stalking by calling someone’s home. A huge no-no, huh Willie?

Can you you prove that rumor, or are you going tell everyone how when a person makes a friend request of another’s Facebook page that there phone comes along with it. And after three years of denying his requests he called me a batch of vile names. So yes I called him and it was the day before the election and all i said was ” Get out and vote,and live long and prosper. “Then i called the Eureka PD. Make your own conspiracy up on someone else.

I did not mean that “ditto” remark to show up where it did. I don’t believe in making comments personal, especially to insult. Sorry. While I may not agree with a person’s specific speculation, I certainly think they have a perfect right to do it without being nagged.

I would ask Kym to remove my comment but I’m sure she is busy with more important things.

Unless it’s a judo chop to the inner elbow? Watch his left hand, not his right. https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1060374680991883265

Kudos to the teenagers that stopped and helped, regardless of who the person was.

Anyone still concerned that the 10,000+ migrant invasion is coming for your babies? Or was that just an election thing?
