The Lee County Sheriff's Office said a woman who shot her husband was taken into custody Saturday.

The investigation began when a man arrived at Lehigh Regional Medical Center and told staff he shot himself, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.

He suffered a non-life threatening wound.

"Hospital staff believed otherwise," according to the sheriff's office.

Lee County sheriff's deputies responded to the man's home in the 3000 block of 7th Street West in Lehigh Acres where they found his wife, Sandra Denise McMillan, incoherent and under the influence of drugs.

There was blood on the porch.

Deputies breached the door and found the couple's two children who told authorities their mother was waving a gun around when it discharged and struck their father.

McMillan, 35, was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, obstructing justice, aggravated battery and firing a missile into a dwelling.

She remains in Lee County Jail.
