Deputies say they are investigating a shooting that occurred Sunday afternoon in Greene County.

The sheriff's office posted that deputies were dispatched at about 1 p.m. to a location in the 5800 block of West U.S. Highway 60 for a man with a gunshot wound. On Monday afternoon, the office said the victim was Chris Gatley, 48, the owner of 417 Rentals.

Gatley was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to the sheriff's office. He remains at a local hospital in critical condition, the sheriff's office reported.

Deputies have not announced any arrests or released suspect information, or even whether the incident is criminal in nature.

According to county records, the property where the shooting occurred is owned by 417 Rentals.

In a recording of the radio traffic on Broadcastify.com, the dispatcher told deputies that the 911 call came from a woman who said she shot her boyfriend by accident.

The woman was hysterical, according to the dispatcher.

When deputies arrived on scene, one of them reported hearing a man screaming. First responders then found a man who had been shot, according to the recording.

The News-Leader reported on Sunday that a bankruptcy case involving Gatley was dismissed by a judge on Jan. 16, paving the way for Gatley's creditors to begin foreclosing on hundreds of his properties.

417 Rentals controls about 500 residential properties in the Springfield area, bringing in about $278,000 per month in rental payments from tenants, according to previous News-Leader reporting.

But the company owes 13 banks more than $19 million, according to court filings.

Gatley is a controversial figure in the Springfield business scene and has been the subject of criticism from tenants and city officials.

Attempts to reach 417 Rentals for comment on Monday were not immediately successful.
