A 25-year-old Victoria man was shot three times with a BB gun, including once in the eye, after an argument in a car in the 2000 block of East Power Street on Thursday afternoon.
Police said two men were arguing over money, when one got out of the car, and shot into the vehicle three times, striking the other man once in the eye and twice in the hand.
The police arrested Breon Carroll, 19, of Victoria, in the 2000 block of East Goodwin Street, several blocks from the shooting scene. Police recovered the BB gun from a bush near the house where he was arrested.
The owner of the home that Carroll fled to said she had known him since he was a child.
"I don't know what possessed him to run here today," said the owner of the home, who declined to give her name. "They should all know by now if they do something, I'm not going to hide them. If the cops come knocking, I let them in."
The shooting victim, Michael Bruce, was taken to Citizens Medical Center for treatment. A hospital spokesperson said Bruce was treated and released.
Carroll was later charged with aggravated assault.
The shooting is under investigation by Victoria Police Officer Mark Hayden.

Not only do we have way too many crooks running the streets.....our crooks are more stupid than the average crook! Victoria, this is embarrassing!

August 19, 2011 at 7:56 a.m.Yesterday afternoon, when this story was first reported as "Breaking News" the headline read that an 86 year old man had been shot in the eye. This morning it's reported that he is 25.
August 19, 2011 at 6:38 a.m.BB gun or not, they probably weren't driving around with it for any "good" reason...
August 18, 2011 at 9:50 p.m.So I'm guessing it was a BB gun that he was shot with? This seems like an important factor you may want to clear up, unless your just looking for a sensational headline for your newspaper.
