Wife Held in Shooting of Thousand Oaks Man
A 25-year-old Thousand Oaks man was shot and injured Monday morning during an argument with his wife, who was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department reported.
Tim Packard, who was shot four times, was in fair condition at Ventura County Medical Center after the 9:12 a.m. shooting at his house in the 200 block of Eagleview Place, Lt. Hank Carrillo said. Carrillo would not describe the nature of Packard’s wounds.
Packard’s wife, Karen, 24, was being held in lieu of $250,000 bail at Ventura County Jail. She was arrested shortly after the shooting when a car she was driving crashed into the center divider of the Ventura Freeway in Thousand Oaks, Carrillo said. She suffered minor injuries and was treated and released from Los Robles Regional Medical Center.
The weapon, a small-caliber handgun, was found in the house, Carrillo said.
