PHENIX CITY, Ala. (AP) - A Russell County corrections officer
has been charged with first-degree assault after police say a
domestic dispute ended with her husband shot in the abdomen Monday.
Thirty-four-year-old Candy McGuire is accused of shooting her
42-year-old husband at their home.
Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones says deputies responded to the home
at 7:17 a.m. and found the unidentified victim suffering at least
one gunshot wound.
Police say the man was responsive when he was transported to The
Medical Center in Columbus, Ga.
McGuire turned herself in at the sheriff's office around noon.
Russell County Sheriff Tommy Boswell says McGuire has been a
corrections officer with his department for seven months.
