A Jackson woman shot in the head inside a local apartment complex Tuesday afternoon is in a fight for her life. A 29-year-old Jackson man is behind bars in connection with the shooting.

Jackson police say the shooting happened Tuesday at 2:40 p.m. at Abbey Villas Apartments on Van Buren Street. Jackson police were dispatched to the apartment after a 911 call reporting a domestic dispute between a woman and her boyfriend. When police arrived they found the 34-year-old woman unresponsive - she had been shot in the head. She was rushed to Henry Ford Allegiance Health where she is currently listed in critical condition.

Police found the 29-year-old suspect a short time later and arrested him. Police say the investigation into the shooting is still ongoing, but a report will likely be sent to the county prosecutor by Thursday. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Richard Burkart (517) 768-8770.
