A man who barricaded himself in a Wesley Chapel home after allegedly shooting a woman on Friday is facing attempted murder charges, authorities said.
Pasco County Sheriff's Office deputies say the incident happened in the Marquette Avenue area just after 7:30 p.m., when a man shot a woman inside a home after an altercation.
PCSO deputies found the woman and got her medical care. She is in stable, but critical condition.
The suspect then barricaded himself inside the home. Shots were heard from inside the home a short time later.
After several hours of attempting to negotiate, deputies entered the home and detained the suspect. He was taken to a hospital for treatment for what appeared to be self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
The suspect is facing a charge of attempted homicide.
A Hardee County grandmother is on trial this week for leaving her 7-month-old granddaughter in a hot car where the baby died —the second grandchild to die under Tracey Nix's care. ABC Action News I-Team Reporter Kylie McGivern sat down with Kaila Nix just days ahead of her mother's trial for aggravated manslaughter.
