A local sheriff says a domestic argument ends with a man being shot and sent to the hospital.

Around 7:30 p.m. Friday, Lenoir County Sheriff Ronnie Ingram tells WITN deputies were called out to the home on Grainger Station Road off Highway 11, between Kinston and Grifton.

Ingram says a husband and wife were arguing and he says it may have turned physical.

At some point, he says either the son or the wife picked up a gun and shot at a door, the bullet hitting the husband in the arm. As to who shot the gun remains under investigation.

The man was taken to Vidant Medical Center and is expected to be fine.

Charges are possible pending further investigation.
