The man accused of killing

the murder charge and seven
other felony counts last week.
Gregory Chad Wallin-Reed,

to a speedy trial during his
continued arraignment
Thursday, Aug. 4.
After entering his plea in
Plumas County Superior
Court in Quincy, Wallin-Reed
was returned to the Plumas
County Jail. He is being held
on $1 million bail.
Wallin-Reed is scheduled to
appear in court Sept. 23 for a
pre-trial conference.
In addition to murder,
Wallin-Reed has been charged
with shooting at an occupied
vehicle, five counts of assault
with a deadly weapon, and
possession of an assault
weapon.
Wallin:Reed admitted open-
ing fire on a fleeing car con-
taining McGuire and five oth-
' er Susanville men after he
said they were stealing solar
lights from his residence on
the Janesville grade near An-
telope Lake.
Two passengers in the car
driven by McGuire were
wounded in the shooting.
Justin Smyth, 20, and Robert
Osornio, 19, sustained gun-
shot wounds to their lower
legs.

the shooting to the Plumas

Reno.
County.receives emergency
food program funding
Plumas County has been
awarded federal funds un-
der the Emergency Food
and Shelter National Board
Program.
Plumas County will re-
ceive $16,072 to supplement
emergency food and shelter
programs in the county.
The selection was made by
a nation.al board chaired by
the Department of Homeland
Security's Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency
and includes representatives
from American Red Cross,
Catholic Charities USA,
United Jewish Communities
and United Way of America.
The national board is
charged to distribute funds
appropriated by Congress to
help expand the capacity of
food and shelter programs in
high need areas around the
country.
The national board, made
up of various volunteer orga-
nizations, will determine
how the funds awarded to
Plumas County are to be dis-
tributed among the emer-
gency food and shelter pro-
grams run by local service
agencies in the area. The lo-
cal board is responsible for
recommending agencies to
receive these funds and any
additional funds available in
this phase 29 of the program.
Under the terms of the
grant from the national
board, local agencies chosen
to receive funds must be pri-
vate, voluntary nonprofits or
units of government; have an
accounting system; practice
nondiscrimination; have
demonstrated the capability
to deliver emergency food
and shelter programs; and, if
they are private, voluntary
organizations, they must
have a voluntary board.
Qualifying agencies are
urged to apply.
Plumas County has distrib-
uted emergency food and
shelter funds over the past 28
years. These agencies were
responsible for providing
food, rent and utility help.
Public or private voluntary
agencies interested in apply-
ing for emergency Food and
Shelter Program funds must
contact Walter Mathison at
592-5026 for an application.
The deadline for applications
to be received is Aug. 17.

According to the 911 phone
log, Wallin-Reed said during
the call that one of the men in
the fleeing car fired a shot at
him.
However, an investigation
into the shooting has found
no evidence that McGuire or
the five other men in his car
were armed. Two solar lights
were recovered.
According to investigators,
Wallin-Reed was in posses-
sion of a .380 handgun and an
AR-15 assault rifle.
M'cGuire, who was shot in
the head and hand, was air-
lifted to Reno.
Smyth was flown to Enloe
hospital in Chico where he re-
portedly underwent at least
one operation for a bullet
wound in his calf. He was re-
leased July 7.
Osornio was transported to
Plumas District Hospital in
Quincy. He was soon released
with a bullet reportedly still
lodged in his lower leg.
The other three passengers--
John Chanley, 20; Richard
Chanley, 19; and Cesar Gonza-
lez, 20-- escaped serious injury.
The events s.urrounding the
shooting are stfill under a
joint investigation by the
sheriff's office, the district at-
torney's office and the Depart-
ment of Justice.
According to information
provided for the investiga-
tion, Wallin-Reed began to
chase the six men late on the
evening of July 2. He said he
saw the men stealing solar
lights from his residence, lo-
cated about nine miles from
Antelope Lake.
The men fled by car and
headed in the direction of the
lake.
Wallin-Reed followed them
in a pickup.
The men said Wallin-Reed
was firing a gun while closely
pursuing their car for about
seven miles.
McGuire eventually en-
tered a gravel road. He report-
edly made a spinning U-turn
and returned in the direction
of Wallin-Reed's truck in an
attempt to escape.
That is when Wallin-Reed
reportedly fired several AR-15
rounds at the passing car,
striking McGuire in the head.
The car drifted off the side
of the road and came to a stop
in a meadow,
The men told investigators
Wallin-Reed got out of his
truck and approached them,
carrying the assault rifle.
They said Wallin-Reed
spoke to them. There are un-
confirmed reports of what
was said.
At 11:29 p.m. Saturday, July
2, Plumas County sheriff's
dispatchers received a 911 call
from Wallin-Reed.
The 911 call log indicates
Wallin-Reed reported that he
had shot someone on top of
the Janesville grade.
The log entry stated, "He
thinks he shot the driver."
According to the report,
Wallin-Reed told the dispatch-
er that the suspects were
armed.
Wallin-Reed agreed to drive
to the dam at Antelope Lake
to meet with deputies.
At 11:52 a person called
911 to report two of the vic-
tims with minor injuries
had arrived at Long Point
campground on Antelope
Lake.
The 911 call log stated the
vehicle containing the in-
jured men was located on For-
est City Road, between Long
Point and Lone Rock.
Wallin-Reed, who has no
prior criminal record, was
arraigned Tuesday, July 5.
He waived his right to fight
extradition in the event that
he makes bail and leaves
California.
Wallin-Reed is being repre-
sented by Reno attorneys
Richard Young and John
Ohlson.
