CARSON CITY -- Two 19-year-old men were arrested and charged with attempted murder Tuesday following a shooting that wounded two youths and shattered the windshield of a passing car.

One of the victims, Salvadore A. Davalos, 18, of Carson City, was in serious but stable condition at Washoe Medical Center Tuesday night. The other, who was not identified, was treated and released. Both were taken to the hospital by Care Flight helicopter after the 3:30 p.m. shooting.

Officials said a Lake Tahoe couple, Mansfield and Linda Smith of Fallen Leaf Lake, were lucky to be alive after a stray bullet smashed into the windshield of their truck.

Witnesses saw a group of youth arguing in the Taco Bell parking lot at 4050 S. Carson St. Two youths started walking away, but turned and shot into the crowd, said a witness who asked not to be identified.
