Courtney Weaver was several times in Arcata this weekend allegedly by her boyfriend. She is in serious condition at UC Medical center.
On Sunday night her Facebook page read "I was shot twice once in the arm then through my right arm blocking my face bullet blasting throught top right lip losing three teeth and shattering my left bottom jaw, nothing plastic surgery can't repare, I'm glad to be alive and should be back in Humboldt by April, the ICU stall here is telling me I'm recovering remarkably ... faster than they've ever seen."
The TS reported this -
