A Covina man was arrested for allegedly shooting his wife in the face early Tuesday, police said.
Raymond Guerra, 35, was booked on suspicion of attempted murder and was held on $1 million bail, according to Covina police. He was scheduled to be arraigned in the Citrus courthouse in West Covina on Thursday.
Officers were sent to the 1200 block of North Citrus Avenue shortly after midnight, said Covina Police Sgt. Gregg Peterson.
“Arriving officers located a female to the front of an apartment building who was bleeding from an apparent gunshot wound to her face,” Peterson said.
Paramedics took the woman to a hospital in serious condition, Peterson said. Her name was not released.
“Officers conducted an investigation and determined that the victim’s husband … was responsible for shooting his wife and he was taken into custody,” Peterson said. “A handgun was recovered at the scene.”
