Richard Mason
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — The man suspected of shooting another man last fall has entered a not guilty plea to charges of first-degree attempted homicide.
Richard Mason appeared in court on Friday for his arrangement on the felony count. He’d previously entered a not guilty plea to a misdemeanor for carrying a concealed weapon in connection with the case.
Investigators say he approached another man near a home on Emter Street back in January and confronted him, then pulled a handgun and shot the man and the abdomen. A witness says Mason then stood over the victim and continued to point the weapon at them before taking off.
The victim was able to go to a nearby home for help. Police later found Mason’s vehicle along Lake View Drive and arrested him without incident. The victim was hospitalized but survived the shooting.
