The woman’s husband told investigators the couple fought before the shooting. After the altercation, the husband entered the bedroom where his wife had been drinking and found her aiming a pistol at him. During the fight over the gun, the weapon discharged, hitting the woman in the neck, the husband said.
The woman was transported via Life Flight to a hospital where she’s in stable condition, HCSO Deputy John Mook said.
This is not the first time a gun has been discharged during a fight between the couple, the husband told investigators.
“There is a second hole in their ceiling that he says occurred probably four years ago where she discharged a firearm inside the house,” Mook said.
