Two Oxnard men were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder Thursday after an argument over a loan erupted in gunfire, authorities said.
According to police, 38-year-old William S. Jacobs of Oxnard was slightly injured when one of the suspects fired a shotgun at him during an argument about property held as collateral for a loan.
