BATON ROUGE — Baton Rouge Police arrested a woman Thursday after she was accused of seriously injuring a man along North 47th Street in a shooting earlier this week. 

Shayln Barker, 25, was arrested and charged with attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon after the Wednesday shooting that happened around 3:45 p.m. 

Barker and the victim were at her home on North 47th Street, drinking and smoking before the shooting. When the shooting victim asked to have sex and Barker refused, he became angry, to which she asked him to leave, arrest records say.

Barker told police the man refused to leave, at which point she armed herself based on a previous experience of him hitting her. The man refused to leave after Barker pointed a gun at him, police said. 

The man then charged at her, to which she responded with two shots to the chest. Barker then left the home after shooting one more shot at the man.

According to police, the shooting victim was taken to the hospital after the shooting and was rushed to surgery.
