An investigation is underway into a weekend domestic dispute that spanned nearly eight hours Sunday morning, left two people with gunshot wounds and involved State Rep. Steve Hurst.

The injuries weren't life-threatening, and no arrests have yet been made. An effort to reach Hurst for comment wasn't immediately successful.

Oxford police Capt. L.G. Owens provided this account of what happened:

Officers were dispatched at 4:15 a.m. Sunday to a home in the 1000 block of Mae Road on an assault. When they arrived, they walked with the resident - Daniel Blake Turner - who was there with his girlfriend. Police were told that the girlfriend - Katelyn Cruise - had called her parents and told them she was assaulted by her boyfriend.

Officers talked with both Turner and Katelyn Cruise, both of whom told police there was no assault. The officers also said they saw no visible marks or injuries on either party.

While officers were still on scene, Hurst showed up. He is Katelyn's step-grandfather. The legislator, a Republican whose House District 35 includes Calhoun, Clay, Coosa and Talladega counties, approached the boyfriend and tried to hit him with his fist, but missed. The two were then separated.

Hurst told officers he believed that his granddaughter had been assaulted by the boyfriend in the past and was there to get her. Both the granddaughter and her boyfriend still denied anything had happened.

The granddaughter told officers that it was a misunderstanding and she could not explain any text messages sent from her phone to the contrary. The granddaughter said she did not want to file a report or charges and left with her grandfather. The boyfriend told officers that he did not wish to press charges against Hurst.

Then, at noon, police received 911 calls about gunfire on Mae Road, as well as a call from Turner, the boyfriend, about gunfire at his home. Turner told police that James Cruise, his girlfriend's father, had come to the home to get his daughter. Cruise is Rep. Hurst's stepson.

Turner told police James Cruise and his wife, Michelle Cruise, got out of their vehicle. James Cruise, he told them, began to walk around the home with a handgun beating on the walls and windows while demanding that Turner and Katelyn Cruise come outside.

When no one exited the home, James Cruise stood in the front yard and fired a shot in the air. Turner said his girlfriend then went outside through the carport door to where the father was standing. Turner said when he heard the gunshot, he retrieved his shotgun and loaded it with birdshot.

Turner said he then exited his home and was met by James Cruise in the driveway. James Cruise still had a pistol in his hand and was yelling for his daughter to get in his car. Turner stated that James raised the pistol towards him, and Turner fired a shot which struck James in the face. James Cruise retreated to his vehicle and got in the passenger's side and left with his wife driving and Katelyn as a passenger. Turner said his girlfriend's father fired multiple shots in his direction as they were leaving. No one at the home was injured.

James and Michelle Cruise then drove to Northeast Alabama Regional Medical where they were treated for their gunshot wounds. James Cruise was later transferred to a Huntsville hospital for further treatment, Katelyn Cruise was not injured.

The Mae Road scene was then processed by Oxford Police Criminal Investigations Division. Oxford police investigators were called to NEARMC, where the Cruise' vehicle was impounded and taken to the Oxford Police Department to be processed. Investigators also completed a preliminary interview with the Cruises.

Oxford police investigators are still waiting to interview the Cruises for a second time after their release from the hospital. Owens said case remains under investigation at this time.
