The Washington County Sheriff's Office said a 36-year-old received minor injuries Sunday when he was shot in the abdomen during a dispute.

Authorities identified the shooter as Richard Zillmer Jr, 51, and the victim as Travis Harrison, 36.

The dispute stems from a relationship, authorities said: Zillmer's wife lives with Harrison.

It began on Saturday, when Harrison barged into Zillmer's home and attempted to fight Zillmer, according to deputies. Harrison received numerous injuries in that fight.

On Sunday, the men exchanged "telephonic communications" and Harrison returned to Zillmer's home, in the 15600 block of Soutwest Jaylee Street, to continue the dispute.

Zillmer shot his handgun through the door and a bullet hit Harrison.

Authorities said they'll refer the case to the the Washington County District Attorney's office for review and potential charges.
