BUTTE - A 53-year-old Butte man is in stable condition after being wounded in a drive-by shooting over the weekend.

Butte-Silver Bow Sheriff John Walsh says two suspects were jailed on $250,000 bail each. Jail records show 21-year-old Robert A. Taylor and 20-year-old Woody J. Campbell were in custody on suspicion of attempted murder.

The shooting happened around 2:30 a.m. Saturday. Walsh says it stemmed from a dispute between one of the suspects and another man over an ex-girlfriend of the suspect. Walsh says the victim heard a noise outside and when he opened the door was shot in the arm and upper torso with a .22-caliber weapon. Another shot grazed his neck.
