Several weeks after shootout in Baker, city employee booked into jail for attempted murder
BAKER - A city worker accused of getting into a shootout with his coworker has been booked for attempted murder more than a month after the shooting sent him to the hospital.
The Baker Police Department said Trenton Brown, 20, had gotten into an argument with a coworker at the city's workshop, according to witnesses. Brown allegedly left work to retrieve a gun, and returned later to catch up with the victim who had also left the business.
The victim told officers Brown fired at him, but he fired back with a gun he keeps on him at work "for protection." The two were reportedly involved in a shootout, but officers determined Brown to be the aggressor. Brown was hit during the shootout and taken for medical attention.
The coworker was issued a summons for illegally carrying weapons on his person while at work for the city.
