A resident of a remote area in Southwestern Shasta County is accused of shooting his landlord in the face overnight. 39-year-old Nicholas Derossett was flown to Mercy Hospital in Redding, where he’s in critical condition. At 12:30AM sheriff’s deputies responded to Yolla Bolla Road in the Igo area. An investigation led to the arrest of 20-year-old Buck Carlile. The two men live on the same property and have had an ongoing dispute as Derossett has been trying to evict Carlile.
