LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A southern Indiana man was sentenced to prison Wednesday after pleading to aggravated battery.
Jordan Cunningham, 24, was arrested in Sellersburg in February 2023, accused of shooting his wife in the chest.
On Wednesday, Cunningham was sentenced to serve seven years, followed by two years of probation. He was originally charged with attempted murder for the shooting in Sellersburg on Autumn Ridge Drive in Feb. 2023.
At the time of the incident, the Clark County Sheriff's Office said officers responded to a report of a shooting at that location in the Autumn Ridge subdivision. When officers arrived, they found the woman with a gunshot wound to her chest.
The victim was seriously hurt, but survived.
According to court documents, Cunningham and his wife got into a fight after a medical appointment. When she turned around, Cunningham was standing behind her with a gun in his hand. He fired, hitting her in the chest, then called 911 to report the shooting.
Cunningham, of Georgetown, was originally charged with attempted murder and several other felony charges, including domestic battery and criminal recklessness. Those charges were eventually dropped.
