A man who was reportedly shot on Jan. 31 in Santa Maria is a convicted gang member who shot and wounded himself, said Detective Paul Flores with the city’s police department.
Initially, the department received a report of an 18-year-old man who checked himself into Marian Regional Medical Center after getting shot in the calf in the area of Cook and Western streets, according to Santa Maria Police Department Lt. Marc Schneider.
It wasn’t clear at first if the man shot himself, since he was sitting in a car at the time, Schneider said, although initially there was “no evidence that it was self-inflicted.”
After reviewing evidence, detectives determined that Bobby Romero-Torrez, 18, of Santa Maria, shot himself. Police identified Guy Parris, 20, of Santa Maria as a witness to the shooting.
The same night he was shot, Romero-Torrez was booked into jail for violating the terms of his parole. On Feb. 8, he was booked into jail again on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm with an additional gang enhancement.

The 14-year-old Jersey City boy who was found with a gunshot wound Tuesday afternoon near his grammar school shot himself, police said this morning.
The School 15 student has been charged with unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes and possession of a firearm by a minor, city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said.
Initially it was reported that the boy was shot in the calf sometime around 3:30 p.m., near the corner of Wegman Parkway and Van Cleef Street. He went back to the school, about a block away, and police were called.
But police began doubting the boy's initial statements after they viewed surveillance video, Morrill said yesterday. It was not immediately known if the boy had the gun inside the school during the school day.
The 14-year-old was treated and released from the Jersey City Medical Center-RWJBarnabas and then remanded to a juvenile detention center in Union County.

Suspicious noises and an icy step resulted in an accidental gunshot wound early yesterday morning in Dandridge, Sheriff Bud McCoig reported.
Amanda C. Williams, 33, of Indian Creek Road, was treated and released at Jefferson Memorial Hospital for a gunshot wound to her left leg. She and her husband had heard suspicious noises outside at about midnight, and she picked up a .22 pistol as they went to investigate.
According to Sgt. David Taliaferro’s report, Mrs. Williams accidentally discharged the semiautomatic as she slipped on an icy step. The bullet entered her left thigh and exited the lower portion of her knee, the officer said.
Her husband, Rodney Williams, 41, heard the accident and ran to assist her. He drove her to the Jefferson Memorial Hospital Emergency Room, where deputies were called at 1:50 a.m.
Taliaferro said the emergency room physician indicated that the wound was consistent with Mrs. Williams’ explanation of the accident.
She reported that they heard a car and voices outside, and her husband asked her where the pistol was. He was also outside trying to spot the vehicle, which apparently left the scene, when the accident occurred.
Mrs. Williams reported that the gun had jammed just before the accident. She had removed the magazine and reinserted it before removing the lodged round. She had the gun in her right hand when she slipped on the step, she reported. Snow showers were moving through the area at the time, and temperatures had dropped below freezing.

CRITTENDEN COUNTY, Ark. - A teen in Arkansas accidentally shot and killed himself earlier this week while putting a gun into his waistband.
Family members, heartbroken, told WREG they are praying for answers as they try to grasp what happened.
They say Kevin Branch, 16, was involved in an altercation at a basketball court the day he died.
"Evidently the young man made an idle threat," Angela Jones, the victim's cousin, said. "Kevin feared for his life."
They are still unsure how Branch obtained a gun.
"He went to put the gun into his waistband and we suspect that's when it went off," Chief Todd Grooms of the Crittenden County Sheriff's Department, said.
Officials said evidence and witnesses, showed the teen had accidentally shot himself in the abdomen.
"We don't suspect foul play in any way," Grooms explained.
The family says Branch was a junior in high school, and an honors student.
"Now he won't be able to enjoy the pleasure of most young men as far as walking across the stage and an honor graduate because his life ended last night," Jones said.
Branch is remembered as a young man who was happy, loved fashion, and worked hard.

A woman shooting herself in the leg at an Athens residence Friday led police to what they believe to be the beginnings of an indoor marijuana farm.
Police initially went to the home at 390 Glenwood Drive in response to a woman’s 911 call that she accidentally shot herself in the leg with a gun. The 51-year-old woman said she armed herself because she was being stalked by a man who, just prior to police arriving, was in a closet.
She said she fired the gun twice, once accidentally into her leg and the other time into the closet where she indicated the “stalker” was hiding, according to police.
Police said the only other person in the home at the time was its 55-year-old resident, Mark Charles King, but he was not believed to be the person the woman shot at, according to police spokesman Epifanio Rodriguez.
“The only thing I can answer is Mark King was not her intended target and that she was firing at an ‘unknown’ man that was in the house,” Rodriguez said.
Police said they found two cartridge casings on the floor. Knowing one of the bullets was in the woman’s leg, they searched where the other projectile ended up, beginning in the closet where the woman said her “stalker” was.
Police said they examined the closet’s walls for any bullet holes, looked on the floor and were moving around some clothing when they came across a large bag of marijuana.
The Northeast Georgia Regional Drug Task Force was notified and drug agents responded to the home with a search warrant.
The evidence they found led police to conclude the large bag of pot in the closet was “old marijuana” that was previously cultivated and harvested. According to Rodriguez, investigators believed that equipment seized suggested King had plans to turn the Glenwood Drive residence into a new location for a marijuana “grow house.”
Police also seized several types of prescription pills and two guns.
Arrest warrants for King were subsequently obtained and he was booked into the Clarke County Jail Monday evening on charges of manufacturing marijuana, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, five counts of possession of a controlled substance and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
The woman who shot herself was a resident of Statham, police said. She was not charged.

Washington County deputies say a Fall Branch man shot himself in the leg Wednesday during an argument with his girlfriend’s father.
According to a press release from the sheriff’s office, Benjamin Bond, 41, 133 Morgan Lane, was arrested at Bristol Regional Medical Center, where he was seeking treatment for a wound in his leg. He was charged with aggravated domestic assault and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

He was transported to the Washington County Detention Center and held on $40,000 bond. He was arraigned Wednesday and remains in custody at the detention center.
