June 23, 2023 (Boulevard) -- A woman has been arrested on suspicion of shooting her daughter in Boulevard.
Shortly before 10 a.m., deputies from the Sheriff's Rural Command responded to a call about a 22-year-old woman with a gunshot wound who came to a fire station on Church Road.
Deputies learned that the victim and her mother, Andrea Najera, had gotten into an argument earlier that morning inside their home near the fire station.
“During the argument, Najera retrieved a shotgun,” says Lieutenant Jeff Ford with the Sheriff’s Rural Command. “The victim attempted to take it from her. As they struggled over the weapon, the gun went off and the victim was struck in the abdomen.”
The injured woman was flown by air ambulance to a hospital. She is expected to survive.
Deputies went to the home, where Najera surrendered without incident. She was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and booked at the Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility in Santee.
