ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.C. — A woman was arrested Sunday for shooting her boyfriend in the head with a shotgun, according to Rockingham County deputies.
Deputies responded to a home on Sunrise Acres Road just after 10 p.m. in response to gunshots being fired.
When they arrived, 58-year-old James Melvin Bean was discovered lying on the ground outside the residence. Bean told deputies that the woman who shot him was still inside the house.
Deputies went to the house and found Renee Lynne Koch, 63, who also lives there, sitting on the entryway doorsteps inside the open garage.
Koch was taken into custody without incident. Bean was transported to a local area hospital for treatment of his injuries and is expected to survive.
Koch was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and was placed in the Rockingham County Detention Facility under no bond.
