A UA student was identified Sunday night as the man who shot a Tucson man with a paintball gun.
The man told police that he was in an alley behind a sorority house when he saw a silver or gold colored sedan occupied by up to five males driving down the alley from North Martin Avenue. The sedan then made a U-turn going east toward North Martin Avenue, reports stated.
Then a male with a shaved head who was later identified as a UA student was seen leaning out the passenger side of the sedan and shooting something at the Tucson man's 1995 green Nissan pick-up, reports stated.
As the man turned to look at his truck, he was shot in the upper right back by what appeared to be a paint ball bullet, reports stated.
The man found that the bullet made a hole in his shirt with a large green splatter. The man also saw a half dollar- sized welt begin to form. The man later saw that the bullet had broken skin. The green paint also hit the hood of his pickup, reports stated.
The man then saw the sedan turn southbound onto North Martin Avenue. He was not able to get a license plate number but told police he could identify the sedan if he saw it again.
The man denied medical treatment but told police he wanted to press charges if the suspect was found. Pictures were taken of his injury, reports stated.
A student later told police he was the suspect who shot the paint ball gun. His story placed him at the scene at the same time the incident occurred.
