Upon arrival, officers made contact with the caller and observed visible marks around her face, neck and head. She also advised officers that male subject had pointed a firearm at her and fired once inside their residence's kitchen.

Officers made contact with a male subject within the store, who advised he was the female's husband.

Officers also retrieved a firearm at the residence and observed where it had been discharged within the home.
