FLUSHING, MI -- An off-duty Genesee County sheriff's correctional deputy was in police custody, suspected of shooting the mother of his child.

Police responded around 3:35 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, to the area of Bellewood Drive on the city's east side for a report of a domestic incident that involved a 25-year-old woman who was shot.

The victim suffered a single gunshot wound to her left calf and was transported to Hurley Medical Center with a non-life-threatening injury, police reported.

Police said the shooting occurred after the victim and 28-year-old male suspect began arguing. During the argument, police claim the suspect retrieved a gun from another room and the argument continued. Eventually, the gun discharged and struck the victim, police said.

The two were drinking at the time of the argument, according to police.

The sheriff's department says the suspect is a five-year correctional deputy with the sheriff's department. Police say arrangements are being made to lodge the suspect at the Shiawassee County jail.

Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell said he plans to address the accusations during an 11 a.m. press conference.

No charges have been filed and the situation remains under investigation.
