A domestic dispute led to a shooting incident in Dawn, Missouri late Wednesday night, but it was the assailant who was hospitalized.

Livingston County Sheriff Steve Cox says just before midnight, a man opened fire with a rifle at the home of a woman he used to have a relationship with.

But the “other man” sitting on the porch, returned fire and hit the assailant, who was hospitalized.

Cox says the man fired three shots at an unoccupied truck before taking aim at the couple on the back porch. He says two children were asleep inside the home when the incident happened. There were no other injuries. No charges have been filed as of yet, and no names were released.
