Johnson and his wife, 25-year-old Chelsea Marie Johnson, were reportedly struggling over the shotgun when it discharged the second time resulting in the passenger door window of a pick-up being broken and Dora M. Johnson, 58, being struck in the head by a projectile from the shotgun or by glass from the pick-up window.
Johnson was taken from the scene by Portsmouth Ambulance to a helipad. From there, she was airlifted by Air Evac to Cabell-Huntington Hospital in Huntington, West Virginia, where she is being treated for a non-life threatening injury.
Johnson fled the scene on foot. He was captured several hours later.
