BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Officials arrest a man and a woman Sunday afternoon for a shooting that injured two people in Northwest Bakersfield Saturday evening.

According to the Kern County Sheriff's Office, 20-year-old Winter Hooper and 33-year-old Franklin Wellskluth were arrested at a Motel 6 near Easton Drive and California Avenue, shortly before 1 p.m.
