Red Bluff >> A 35-year-old Red Bluff man is facing charges of attempted murder after reportedly shooting into a house after attempting to kidnap his girlfriend Tuesday morning and leading authorities on a high-speed chase from Butte County into Nevada County

Ian Michael Gonzales reportedly came to the home on Highway 36 west of Red Bluff around 8:10 a.m. Tuesday and began shooting into the home, occupied by his girlfriend and three others, according to a press release from the Tehama County Sheriff’s Department. Dispatchers reported hearing gunshots during a 9-1-1 call.

Multiple units responded, but Gonzales fled the scene in a pickup headed west on Highway 36, armed with at least one rifle and a handgun, the release said.

Later in the day, a Butte County sheriff’s deputy spotted Gonzales near Oroville and a pursuit began.

It continued into Nevada County, where Gonzales crashed the pickup and was taken into custody.

Tehama deputies said residents of the home said Gonzales brandished a handgun and attempted to kidnap his girlfriend.

The others confronted him and he went to his pickup, returning with a high-capacity rifle that he fired several into the home several times, the release said. The residents had armed themselves but did not fire their weapons, the release said.

No one was injured.

As Gonzales fled, he reportedly said he intended to engage in a gun battle with law enforcement if they attempted to capture him and he was not going back to prison, the release said.

Gonzales was later tracked to Chico and Paradise before being spotted in Oroville where the chase began, the release said.

While being chased through Butte County Gonzales called 9-1-1 and told dispatchers if deputies didn’t back off, he would begin shooting at them, according to scanner reports. Deputies backed off and a helicopter took over the chase.

Gonzales overturned the pickup after running over a spike strip deployed by California Highway Patrol officers, the release said. He was extricated, taken into custody without further incident and taken to a Nevada County hospital for treatment of injuries.

Charges pending against Gonzales include attempted murder, shooting into an inhabited dwelling, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and domestic violence, the release said. Bail had not been set as of Wednesday afternoon.

Gonzales was in the custody of CHP, charged with felony failure to yield, at the undisclosed hospital. Sheriff’s investigators were seeking an arrest warrant for Gonzales and his arrest on the Tehama County charges is anticipated.
