CONCORD — A Concord man has been charged with attempted murder and assault with a firearm following a shooting earlier this month, authorities said.
Officers arrested 28-year-old Bobby Vandahlen on Jan. 8 after obtaining an arrest warrant for him, police said.
Vandahlen is suspected of shooting another man two days earlier in the 1700 block of Denkinger Road following an argument at Vandahlen’s home, police said.
He remained in custody Monday at the Martinez Detention Facility in lieu of $1.67 million bail. The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office confirmed the charges, and said Vandahlen will be arraigned in court Thursday.
The shooting victim has been released from John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, and police said he is expected to make a full recovery.
Officers were dispatched to the same hospital around 11:55 p.m. on Jan. 6 after the victim showed up there, police said. A friend drove him there, police said.
The injured man told officers that he was visiting Vandahlen when the two got into an argument, police said. He tried to escape after the argument became more heated, and police said that’s when Vandahlen shot him.
