A process server was recovering from a gunshot wound in his leg today and the man who allegedly shot him was in custody, an Escondido police official said.
Burk Neal Ashford, 65, allegedly shot the 50-year-old process server around 9 p.m. Tuesday outside Ashford’s home in the 1400 block of Red Bark Road, said Escondido police Lt. Bob Benton.
Ashford called 911 and said he’d shot the victim in the leg, Benton said. Escondido police officers responding to the call were flagged down by the victim on the street, he said. The victim was taken to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido and treated for a non-life threatening gunshot wound, Benton said.
Officers arrested Ashford and recovered a .22 caliber handgun at the home, Benton said. Ashford was booked at the Vista Detention Facility on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and illegal discharge of a weapon, according to jail records.
