A domestic dispute over the telephone ended in a shooting, according to St. Landry Parish Sheriff Bobby Guidroz.
It also ended with the arrested of Stephanie Faye Dore, 29, of the 9600 block of Church Point Highway, Church Point, on a charge of attempted second-degree murder.
Dore and the victim were having a domestic dispute over the phone and when the victim returned to the home in the 500 block of Prairie Ronde Highway, he left the vehicle.
Dore then went inside of the vehicle and grabbed a handgun, which she immediately pointed at the victim, Guidroz stated.
After a struggle, the victim was able to disarm Dore, he stated.
The victim was not identified.
“A handgun was also kept on a shelf in the laundry room for protection, as well as accessibility,” Guidroz stated. “Reports indicate that once the victim removed the weapon from Ms. Dore’s grasp, she then grabbed the weapon in the laundry room and shot the victim in the stomach area.”
Dore called 911 to report the shooting, stating that the victim had a gun and was coming after her, he stated. She stated that she shot him in either the stomach or the side area, he was still breathing and a weapon was located by his side, Guidroz stated.
While injured, the victim was also able to call 911 after he heard Dore report inaccurate information to the operator, Guidroz stated. The victim stated that Dore pulled a gun on him and he disarmed her. He then stated that she pulled another gun on him and shot him, Guidroz stated.
Both handguns belonged to Dore, according to the victim.
Dore’s bail was set at $75,000.
