A man who barricaded himself in a Wesley Chapel home after allegedly shooting a woman on Friday is facing attempted murder charges, authorities said.
Pasco County Sheriff's Office deputies say the incident happened in the Marquette Avenue area just after 7:30 p.m., when a man shot a woman inside a home after an altercation.
PCSO deputies found the woman and got her medical care. She is in stable, but critical condition.
The suspect then barricaded himself inside the home. Shots were heard from inside the home a short time later.
After several hours of attempting to negotiate, deputies entered the home and detained the suspect. He was taken to a hospital for treatment for what appeared to be self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
The suspect is facing a charge of attempted homicide.
'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers
Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.
