VIRGINIA CITY - Authorities say a 64-year-old Twin Bridges man has been arrested for allegedly shooting another man in the face with a rifle.

Court records state that Shueneman fired a rifle into a group of people outside his home early Tuesday morning. Apparently, he wanted to scare off the group, which he described as disorderly. The victim was identified as Morgan Dorseth. He was listed in stable condition at a hospital in Seattle.
