Alan Cofield, 39, is accused of getting into a physical altercation with his wife at their home in the 4800 block of Hammett Road, the Troup County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. His wife’s sister tried to intervene, which is when Cofield allegedly grabbed his pistol and pointed it at his sister-in-law’s head.

He fired at least one shot at her, which grazed her head, the release said. His wife was also injured during the incident, and Cofield’s father eventually tried to intervene as well.
