Harrisburg police charged a woman with attempted homicide after they say she shot a woman early Sunday who was in the middle of a sex act with her ex-boyfriend.
The victim remained in critical but stable condition Monday with a wound to her abdomen.
Police also charged Tara L. Melhorn, 36, with aggravated assault in connection with the 2:30 a.m. shooting in an apartment area behind the Market 24 store at 304 N. 2nd Street.
Melhorn works at the store and was closing up shop just before the shooting in the rear of the building, according to court records.
The records gave this account:
The victim visited a man’s apartment, located in the same building as the market, and braided his son’s hair. The man is the ex-boyfriend of Melhorn.
The victim and man were involved in a sex act when Melhorn walked into the office area and saw them. She went back into the store, retrieved a gun from her purse and then returned to the apartment area of the building, according to court records.
The women then got into a physical fight. The boyfriend told police the victim was on top of the woman when Melhorn fired one gunshot, the records said.
“The defendant stated, ‘Help me. I just shot her,’” according to the ex-boyfriend.
Police responded to a panic alarm from the store and arrived and found the store’s front doors locked. Melhorn, with blood on her shirt, then unlocked the door and told them “she was assaulted and shot someone inside.,” according to court records.
