TAQCOMA, Wash. β€” A Tacoma woman is being jailed on $500,000 bail for allegations that she shot her ex-husband after confronting him and his girlfriend.

The News Tribune reports that 42-year-old Amy Yasuko Taylor appeared in court Monday on a first-degree assault charge in connection with last week's shooting.

Court documents say Taylor went to a Parkland home where her ex-husband and his girlfriend had been. They came outside and shots were fired.

The documents say the suspect left the scene in a waiting vehicle.

A neighbor tended to the victim, who had been shot in back of the head, until paramedics arrived. An update on his condition is unknown.

Taylor allegedly told sheriff's deputies she had been present during a shooting in Parkland but didn't know anything about the incident.
