Jacob Bertrand was arrested Tuesday on charges of menacing, reckless endangerment and second-degree assault in the June 4 attack, Grand Junction police said in a news release.

Bertrand shot his male co-worker several times in the chest and at least once in the nose, police said. The victim's injuries were not life-threatening, police said.

Most of the attack was captured on surveillance video at the store where the two worked, police said.

Bertrand was being held at the Mesa County jail on $25,000 bond.

There was no home phone number under Bertrand's name, and jail records did not show whether he has an attorney. An official at the jail said he couldn't say whether Bertrand had an attorney.
