TAMPA \u2014 Police arrested a man after an argument escalated into a shooting that left another man critically injured, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Emanuel Watson, 33, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a weapon and possession of a controlled substance, according to the Tampa Police Department.<\/p>\n
Officers responded to reports of gunfire shortly after 4 p.m. Feb. 16 near North 27th Street and East 97th Avenue, police said. They found a man in his late 30s with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body.<\/p>\n
Officers gave the victim emergency medical care before Tampa Fire Rescue took him to a hospital, where he remained in critical but stable condition Feb. 17, police said.<\/p>\n
Watson and the victim knew each other, and the shooting followed a verbal argument that turned physical, according to investigators. Watson pulled a gun and shot the man multiple times before running from the scene, police said.<\/p>\n
Officers found Watson hiding in the backyard of a home on the 10000 block of North 26th Street, where he was arrested without incident, police said.<\/p>\n
Watson was booked into the Orient Road Jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TAMPA \u2014 Police arrested a man after an argument escalated into a shooting that left another man critically…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[15289,78174,265,9189,5507,3367,276,1109,78171,1598,8996,78172,66460,1933,4538,78173,215,135,6417,137,136,3793,6410,10449],"class_list":{"0":"post-163433","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa","8":"tag-attacks","9":"tag-conflicts","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-crimes","12":"tag-death","13":"tag-gun-violence","14":"tag-hillsborough-county","15":"tag-homicide","16":"tag-killings","17":"tag-law-enforcement","18":"tag-man-made-disasters","19":"tag-mass-murders","20":"tag-mass-shootings","21":"tag-murder","22":"tag-murders","23":"tag-rampages","24":"tag-shooting","25":"tag-tampa","26":"tag-tampa-fire-rescue","27":"tag-tampa-headlines","28":"tag-tampa-news","29":"tag-tampa-police-department","30":"tag-violence","31":"tag-violent-crime"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
