JOPPA, Md. — A Joppa woman is being held without bail after allegedly shooting her husband last week.

The Harford County Sheriff's Office said a 15-year-old girl called 911 reporting that her mother shot her father.

It happened just after 3pm at a home on Pickerel Place.

Deputies arrived on scene just as Evelyn Milne, 34, was exiting the home.

Charging documents say she admitted to the shooting in front of an officer.

Inside the home police found her husband, 35-year-old Joseph Milne, suffering from a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Investigators believe the couple got into an argument leading up to the shooting. No other details were released.

Joseph was helicoptered to a trauma center with serious injuries, but is expected to survive.

Evelyn now faces first and second degree attempted murder charges.
