A Glide man is in jail after authorities say he shot another man in the head on Wednesday night.

Sergeant Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said just before 10:00 p.m. dispatchers received a call reporting that the victim had been shot by 65-year old James Crayton. The report said the shooting took place at a residence in the 1500 block of Bar L Ranch Road.

O’Dell said when deputies arrived they found the victim, 48-year old Christopher Wagner, also of Glide, to be alert and responsive. He was taken to a hospital by ambulance and is listed in stable condition, according to the report.

O’Dell said deputies learned the men had been involved in a brief argument before Crayton shot Wagner. The suspect then tried to discard the firearm before deputies arrived, according to O’Dell.

Crayton was charged with second degree assault. Bail was initially set at $250,000. O’Dell said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges may follow.
