According to Sheriff Gonzalez, deputies responded to a shooting in the 16700 block of Ella Blvd. and learned that a 24-year-old woman had been injured in a shooting that possibly stemmed from domestic violence.
The woman was taken to the hospital and was last reported to be in fair condition. The sheriff says she is expected to survive her injuries.
The sheriff says the alleged shooter fled with the couple’s 4-year-old child.
According to Sheriff Gonzalez, the suspect and the child were located after a search. The 4-year-old was not injured, the sheriff says.
The sheriff says it appears Gardner has three open warrants for previous aggravated assault incidents against the victim.
