WASHINGTON COUNTY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Washington County Sheriff’s Investigators (WCSO) are looking into a shooting that occurred on Tuesday morning.

Deputies said they got a call just before 3 a.m. about gunshots going off on Tiger Trail in Chipley.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, when deputies arrived at the residence, they found a woman had shot and killed her husband.

No arrests have been made at this time, as deputies work to determine if the incident was self-defense.

”The wife is cooperating with the investigation at this time. So, it just needs to run its course. Again, we’re very early into the investigation. At the end of the day, we’ll determine if an arrest will be made or not be made in this case,” Sheriff Kevin Crews said.

WCSO is still working with officials in the investigation, and the home is still being processed for evidence.

We’ll continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
