Report: Wife shoots husband after dispute

CHILLICOTHE – The Ross County Sheriff's Office is investigating a report of a woman shooting her husband after a dispute Wednesday night.

Deputies responded at 11 p.m. to 20544 U.S. 23 on a call of a possible shooting. When they arrived, they found the 57-year-old male victim on the couch with a gunshot wound to his right chest.

The victim's 61-year-old wife reportedly told deputies she and her husband had been arguing and he threatened her. Investigators said she told them when her husband "came at her," she shot.

The man was taken to Adena Regional Medical Center and then to Grant Medical Center in Columbus and is expected to recover from the injury, officials said.

No charges have been filed as the investigation continues.
