CRIME Robbery occurred at local home Twosuspectsarrestedon the charge of burglary By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter CORNING The 22-year-old vic- tim of the drive-by shooting about 2:15 a.m. Tuesday at the 7-11 store in Corning believes a vandalism incident the previous evening may have prompted the shooting. Travis Gasler of Corning told officers when he came to report the incident at the station that he was walking across the street from the 7-11 to Les Schwab Tire to meet his girlfriend when he was shot at by a person in a red BMW that was known to him, Corning Police Chief Don Atkins said. Gasler identified the shooter as Ty Milo Martinovich, 27, of Corn- ing, saying several shots had been fired at him as the BMW drove through the 7-11 parking lot be- fore it drove off. Three empty .22 caliber shell casings were recov- ered at the scene. Asked about a potential motive, Gasler told officers it was probably because Martinovich thought he was responsible for vandalizing the BMW, Atkins said. The vehicle belonged to a friend of Martinov- ich's, who was one of the girls con- tacted at his residence. The car had a smashed windshield and one or both of the outside mir- rors broken off. Gasler was men- tioned as a suspect, but witnesses contacted advised Gasler was not involved in the vandalism. Officers contacted Martinov- ich and two women at his resi- dence, where they did a search of his room but were unable to lo- cate a firearm. Martinovich and the women were interviewed at the Corning Police Department and Martinovich was placed un- der arrest. The two women were released. Martinovich was booked into Tehama County Jail on the fel- ony charges of assault with a fire- arm, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, possession of a loaded firearm in a motor vehi- cle discharged at a person not in the motor vehicle and attempted willful, deliberate premeditated murder. No bail was set according to the booking sheet, however, the jail website shows a bail amount of $1 million. CORNING Drivebyinvestigationcontinues MINERAL Visitors are invited to learn more about wildlife to- day and Sunday at Lassen Vol- canic National Park in a week- end dedicated to studying the park's birds and butterflies. Birds and butterflies are not only beautiful, they are indica- tors of the health of Lassen's resources and play an impor- tant role in scientific research. The annual butterfly count will be held on Saturday, July 18 in various locations through- out the park. The count is one of many put on by the North American Butterfly Associa- tion and is a wonderful way to learn more about butterflies found in the park. No experience is necessary as first time volunteers will be partnered with more ex- perienced volunteers. If you would like to participate, write to volunteer Joseph Smith at foxglove1985@yahoo.com for more information on meeting location and time. The annual bird mist netting demonstration is scheduled be- tween 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Sun- day, July 19 at Manzanita Lake. Join Lassen's Wildlife Biologist and staff from Point Blue Con- servation Science — formerly Point Reyes Bird Observatory — as they offer an opportunity for visitors to see birds up close and learn why Lassen is study- ing them. Demonstrations will take place every half-hour starting at 8 a.m. A ranger will be at the Manzanita Lake boat launch to meet visitors and walk them to the bird banding site. For trail information, camp- ground openings and current conditions to plan your trip, visit the park website at www. nps.gov/lavo, call the visitor center at 595-4480 or write to lavo_information@nps.gov.
