A 23-year-old La Quinta man who was shot by a sheriff’s deputy last week was charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer.
Christopher Curci was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries after an officer shot him on Avenida Montezuma, according to Patch. He is accused of trying to kill two men with a rock, then assaulting two sheriff’s deputies, also with a rock.
