SHERMAN OAKS, CA -- A woman was shot by her husband early this morning in Sherman Oaks during an alcohol-fueled argument that escalated to violence, but the victim has returned home after being treated at a hospital and her husband has been arrested, according to a Los Angeles police sergeant.

The shooting took place about 4:45 a.m. at a home in the 15000 block of Valleyheart Drive, according to LAPD Sgt. Maria Pedroza of the Van Nuys station. "A husband shot his wife during a domestic argument," Pedroza said. "She was hit in the arm, treated at the hospital, and is now back home in stable condition."

The husband was arrested and was still awaiting his booking as of noon, Pedroza added. An adult son was also in the house but he was not injured. There's no word yet on what the argument was about.
