Larimer County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the 8100-block of South 1st Street in Wellington at 8:13 p.m. on Nov. 29 on the report of an assault.
The reporting party arrived at the home to find the 28-year-old male resident injured and bleeding. The male resident allegedly fired one shot from a long gun at two intruders but did not hit anyone.
