A woman in her mid-20s was shot at a home in south Wichita on Tuesday afternoon.
The shooting was reported around 3:40 p.m. in the 2000 block of south Grove. Officers arrived and found a woman in the front of the home who had been shot in the upper chest, Wichita police Lt. Krys Henderson said.
The woman was taken to a hospital and is now in stable condition, Henderson said.
Originally, first responders over 911 emergency communications said the shooting involved a man and his ex-girlfriend. Henderson said in a media briefing that it involved two women.
An argument between two women escalated into a fight. During the fight, a handgun was pulled out and one of the woman was shot, Henderson said.
Henderson did not specify the relationship between the two women and it is unclear if the two lived at the home. The cause of fight is being investigated and no arrests have been made.
Police were interviewing neighbors and witnesses at the scene of the shooting.
