(KMJ) – The Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office says it has made an arrest following a shooting Monday.

Deputies say a yet-to-be identified male victim was shot behind The Pizza Factory on 5th Street in Mariposa.  The man was taken to a Valley hospital for treatment, but his condition has yet to be released.

The suspect, identified as Kenny Patterson, then fled the scene, prompting a search and a lock-down of near-by schools and businesses.

The Sheriff’s Office now says Patterson has since been located and arrested.  Deputies add they believe this shooting was an isolated incident.
