At the apartment, police learned that the man's injuries were not life-threatening, and he was able to provide the officers with a statement. The man told the police that "he got into an argument with his girlfriend, Simmons. The victim stated Simmons had been drinking, so he decided to just get his stuff and leave for the night," reports show.

At that point, Simmons didn't want her boyfriend to leave, according to the police.

"The victim stated that Simmons told him he wasn’t going anywhere, shoved him back, pulled out her gun and shot him in the leg. The victim stated that he was able to run out of the apartment to escape," police reports reflect.
