Berry Creek >> A man was shot twice Monday night after he allegedly forced his way into a Berry Creek home, according to authorities.

Deputies found Albert Sprague with at least two gunshot wounds outside a residence on Simpson Ranch Road, according to a press release from the Butte County Sheriff’s Office.

Sprague was listed as being in fair condition as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Enloe Medical Center.

The shooting is said to have happened during a physical fight between Sprague and the resident of the Simpson Ranch Road home.

At approximately 7:40 p.m., the Berry Creek resident called 9-1-1, but the call was dropped because of poor cellphone reception, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Moments later, dispatch received another call from the same location, and it sounded like two men were talking about a gun and one was asking the other to let go of the weapon.

Deputies responded to the property and found the two men standing on the front porch of the residence.

Sprague told deputies he was shot by the home’s occupant, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities said it appears Sprague forced his way into the residence, where a confrontation occurred, and the altercation led to Sprague getting shot.

Sprague was flown to Enloe Medical Center.

The man, who was not identified in the press release, told dispatchers he was receiving threats from Sprague and asked for extra patrol since he feared for his safety.

As of Tuesday afternoon, no one had been arrested, but the case was still under investigation, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 538-7321.
