The Gulf County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting in Howard Creek that happened Friday morning.

In a news release, GCSO says deputies responded to Old Bay City Road after a 911 call from Kelly Evans, 49, who stated she "had just shot a man in her yard."

When deputies got there, they found Joseph B. Taylor, 53, lying in the yard. He had been shot. According to investigators, Taylor was conscious and "gave his account of the events." He was taken by ambulance to a local hospital where he was listed in stable condition and is expected to recover.

Investigators say the shooting happened after a "domestic dispute" between Evans and Taylor who were in a relationship and lived together. A gun was recovered from inside the home. Deputies say Evans shot Taylor from a bedroom window as he was getting ready to leave.

Investigators say Evans admitted to them she had shot Taylor.

Evans was arrested and is being charged with aggravated domestic battery with a firearm.
