A Santa Rosa County man is behind bars, charged with attempted murder.

When deputies responded to a 43-year old female shot in the chest over the weekend on Childers Street in Milton, two subjects said she was shot accidentally with a a firearm purchased earlier in the day.

Monte Jae Denne, 55, told officers that he was outside the residence at the time of the shooting, but he said an argument was ongoing inside the home at the time.

Once the victim was out of surgery at Sacred Heart Hospital, she told investigators that the shooting was not an accident. She told them that Denne shot her in the chest after an argument.

Denne was arrested by Sheriff’s Office investigators and charged with attempted felony murder. He remains in the Santa Rosa County Jail without bond.

    Maybe the gun was bought for the purpose of killing her. Wonder who the 2 subjects were that said it was accidental.
