PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. — The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office made an arrest in a shooting that happened in late December at the KOA Journey Campground north of Pueblo.

In a news release, the sheriff's office says they have arrested 54-year-old Steven Hollingsworth for attempted first-degree murder. Hollingsworth is accused of shooting a 30-year-old man at the KOA following an argument with the man.
