The driver in the Dec. 20 shooting of a sheriff’s sergeant in Gardnerville told a Carson City detective she didn’t know she was about to be in a shoot-out until she heard a pistol fire from the seat next to her.
Attempted murder charges of a first responder and with the use of a deadly weapon have been filed against Nicholas Berreman in connection with the 11:15 p.m. shooting that injured Sgt. John Lenz.
On Monday, Sheriff Dan Coverley said Lenz will recover from the injury to his cheek from the shooting.
“I am grateful for the successful recovery of Sgt. Lenz and we look forward to bringing him home to the community in which he proudly serves,” he said.
