EIGHT MILE, Alabama--The Mobile County Sheriff's Office responded to a shooting in Eight Mile at 5270 Lott Road early Sunday morning spurred by domestic violence, according to officials.

Eight Mile resident Katelynn Street was assaulted by Thomas Wadsworth within the last week, according to MCSO. Street went to her neighbor, Clint Reed, for safety.

At approximately 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Wadsworth began beating on the door of Reed's home, demanding that Street exit and leave with him. Street refused, and Wadsworth struck her, attempting to get her out of Reed's home.

Street was able to get away, and Reed fired several warning shots at Wadsworth before shooting him in the back.

Wadsworth was taken to area hospital with a gunshot wound, and Reed admitted to shooting him on his property.

The investigation into the shooting will be presented to a grand jury, and MCSO will sign a warrant for Wadsworth for third-degree domestic violence, officials said.
