A domestic incident on Binford Drive ended with the woman critically injuring her boyfriend Tuesday morning. Huntsville police have determined it was self-defense, and she will not be arrested at this time.

The 24-year-old woman told police the two of them were fighting inside their home in the 200 block. She said he started choking her and she fought to get away. She eventually got hold of a handgun and shot him in the abdomen.

The boyfriend, 32, drove himself to Huntsville Hospital, police say. His injuries were life-threatening so he was taken directly into surgery. Police did not have an update on his condition Tuesday afternoon, and a hospital spokeswoman said he is not listed there.

"There is a history of domestic violence between the two. She is not being charged at this time. The investigation is ongoing," states a release from the Huntsville Police Department.

The investigation is ongoing.

There was an unrelated shooting on Timbercrest Drive at about the same time that morning. At the time, it was not clear if the incidents were related or not. Police have now confirmed they were not.

Police have ruled the Timberland Drive case a homicide. Investigators said they are still searching for the shooter.
