We have an update on a story we aired Wednesday about a man accused of shooting inside his Yucca Valley motel room. Sheriff’s deputies were sent to the America’s Best Value Inn and Suites about 7 a.m. Tuesday, where they found several bullet holes in the exterior wall of a room. A security check was made inside the room and they contacted Leighton Turner, 39, of Desert Hot Springs. Deputies found several more rounds that had been fired from within the room. A search warrant was obtained, and deputies located a handgun and several rounds of fired ammunition inside the room. After a medical evaluation at a local hospital, Leighton Turner was arrested on suspicion of shooting at an inhabited dwelling and was booked into the West Valley Detention Center with his bail set at $250,000.
