Narrative

On April 13, 2015, at approximately 1:30 p.m., an employee was shot in the left hand. Prior to the incident, a well tender found an issue at a well site. The well tender contacted a roustabout crew to repair and clean the area. The injured employee responded to the job to oversee the work, take pictures, and complete an incident report. After completing his work, he was driving away from the site and was stopped by a suspect dressed in camouflage, standing in the road. The suspect stood on the passenger side of the truck, played a recording that said "stop drilling," and pointed a gun at the employee's head. The employee grabbed the gun and shoved it away from his head; the gun fired into his left hand. The employee drove off and was hospitalized.
