UPDATE Dec. 29:
A 32-year-old woman is charged with a shooting that hurt two people in Lehigh Acres, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff said Shannon Vanwy shot her ex-boyfriend and one of his family members. LCSO said the woman wasn't supposed to have a gun at all because she's a convicted felon.
Fox 4's Bella Line was at the press conference Monday where the sheriff explained what led up to the shooting:
The sheriff's office said the ex-boyfriend had come to pick up his belongings at a home on 3rd Street in Lehigh Acres when they got in an argument.
That's when deputies said Vanway shot him and the other person multiple times.
The sheriff said one victim ran from the house while the other one hid inside and called 911.
Both victims survived, even after a bullet grazed one of their necks.
Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in domestic situations like this one, it's important to seek help before it's too late.
"Domestic violence is very hard to stop, you have to physically be inside someone's residence and even then it doesn't mean that you know what domestic couples are saying or doing behind a closed door, so the most important piece of that puzzle is to get yourself out of that situation," Marceno said.
Vanwy is facing several felony charges.
