As reported on News Center 7 at 5:30, Riverside police say several people live at the house as tenants, and the shooting was between a man and a woman who live in separate rooms in the house.

“This girl just shot my friend. Oh, my god,” a 911 caller told dispatchers.

Police said the man was shot in the neck and they found him outside of the home.

“When we got here, there was a male laying just in front of the mailbox,” Riverside Police Major Angela Jackson said. “Our officers actually threw him in a cruiser and met the medics.”

Jackson said the man is in stable condition.

The woman accused of shooting the man was found inside the house and the gun used wasn’t hers.

“The guy that owns the home, it was his weapon, and he has a holster on right now, so it was missing, so relocated it,” Jackson said.

Police said the two have had a history of not getting along, and while they do not know what led to the shooting yet, with an arrest being made they said no one else is at risk.
