A man is now in custody following an early morning shooting in Silverton that left his sister injured, officials say. Hamilton County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched to a residence on the 6700 block of Stoll Lane around 2:30 a.m. on Friday, where they found a woman had been shot by her brother amidst a domestic squabble.
After the 911 call was placed, dispatchers reportedly heard an individual in the background exclaim, "You shot me," according to what was relayed by FOX19. The victim has been transported to the hospital and is reported to be in stable condition, as noted by WLWT. The nature of their argument has not been disclosed, nor has the specific location of the woman's injuries.
The accused shooter, identified by officials as 58-year-old Troy Hood, faces charges including felonious assault and using weapons while intoxicated. WCPO reported the list of charges, which also encompassed assault. The precise circumstances leading up to the incident remain under investigation.
Local authorities have not yet provided details surrounding the severity of the victim's injuries, only confirming her stable condition, adding to the complexity of the narrative. Community members have been left shaken by the violence that has pierced the quiet of a family home – a scenario that has become an all too common reflection of domestic tensions turned perilous. As the case progresses, more information is expected to be released by officials.
