A woman was shot by her husband during a domestic dispute Tuesday morning in Byrneville, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Joseph Anthony Franklin, 60, has been charged with attempted homicide. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond Tuesday afternoon.
The shooting happened just after 8 a.m. in the 1200 block of McBride Road, near Byrneville Road.

She was airlifted to a Pensacola hospital by MedStar Air Care 2. An update on her condition was not available.

I wish everyone who comments on here would sign it and own their words. I’m with whoever is saying “praying for everyone”
And who y’all know that’s normal anyway.
Look at his smug face. He thinks he is innocent. Throw the book at him.
He should have thought about what comment sections would be saying BEFORE he did it. You know, the things that normal people have go through their head that stop us from shooting up houses…..
My buddy got 20 years for shooting into an occupied dwelling. He might not get life for attempted murder but 20 years at 60 for shooting into an occupied dwelling will still be pretty much a life sentence for him.
So what is up with all these cowardly “men” shooting their wives???
You folks crack me up!
“Please be respectful” of the coward who shot his wife through the wall of their house? Nope!

I wish I had bought stock in Apple in the 80s.
I definitely don’t know nothing when comparing a simple mistake with disregard for human life.
How’s that for a double negative?
I ain’t not never did nothing right neither.
Better.

@ Karen
Someone’s son or father should think twice before shooting into occupied dwellings, lest his name be sullied.
I don’t think his wife will mind though.
It does not matter if you you try to take another’s life you are a criminal period !
Before making assumptions and making insensitive comments, please be mindful that this is still someone’s son & daughter and more importantly, that their children will see these comments about their parents. They are still young and obviously going through enough right now.
