Wife Held in Officer’s Attempted Murder

The wife of an off-duty Los Angeles police officer was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after shooting her husband twice during an argument in their apartment, police said Sunday.

The officer, whose identity was not released, was treated at a hospital for gunshot wounds in the arm and lower body and was released, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Kevin Maiberger said.

Just before midnight Saturday, the two were arguing when the woman grabbed a gun and shot her husband twice, police said.

The man ran out of the apartment to a nearby bus stop while she followed in a vehicle, crashing into the stop in an apparent attempt to run him over, police said. The woman then got out of the car and was pursuing her husband on foot when he fired a gun at her, police said. She was not hurt.
