A young man faces charges in Fultondale after a Thursday-night shooting in that city.

Authorities today charged Tommy Usher III, 20, with attempted murder. Fultondale police Chief D.P. Smith said the shooting was domestic-related, and the victim is recovering.

Officers responded about 9 p.m. to a home in the 3100 block of Enclave Lane. Usher, he said, got into a dispute with the man who lived at that house and had been in a dating relationship with Usher's mother.

The relationship had ended, the chief said, and a disagreement took place over that issue. The victim was shot in the foot. He was treated and released from a local hospital.

The warrant was issued Friday by the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office. Usher is not yet in custody.

Smith said officers have responded to multiple incidents of domestic violence at the home. He said people need to be aware of the potential dangers of such disputes.

"During the holidays, tensions rise,'' he said. "If anyone is involved in domestic violence or aware of a domestic violence situation, they need to seek help before it boils over into something like this."
