According to the Martinez Police Department, around 8:30 a.m. Saturday, May 14, two men began to argue outside a residence in the 700 block of Shell Avenue. The argument turned into a fight and the two men fell into a plate glass window, causing it to break and cut the two men.
The fiancé of one of the men, 46-year-old Martinez resident Dawn Iverson, allegedly ran to the aide of her fiancé, firing a pistol that struck the other man in the torso.
