An argument between a husband and wife ended in an accidental shooting at a Tempe apartment complex Friday morning.
According to Sgt. Mike Pooley of the Tempe Police Department, the couple's two kids called 911 at about 6 a.m.
"Initially they told us that both of their parents had been shot," Pooley told 3TV's Ryan O'Donnell. "When we got out here we found the father walking down the street. He had two guns in his hands."
Pooley said the man complied with officers, putting his guns down when ordered. Police took him into custody without incident.
When they went into the couple's apartment, officers found a woman who had been shot in the leg.
That woman was taken to a local hospital and is expected to be OK.
Pooley said detectives are getting conflicting stories about the moment leading up to the shooting.
Both the man and the woman said they were wrestling for the gun, but it's not clear who had it when it discharged. The man told officers his wife shot herself. She said her husband shot her.
