RIVERVIEW, Fla. - A woman is in critical condition after the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says a man shot her in the lower back at a home in Riverview.
Deputies say they responded to a call that Andrea Tinner had shot herself, but after talking with 43-year-old Leroyce Durham, they determined that he shot her after an altercation earlier in the evening.
