A domestic violence incident led to a man being shot Monday afternoon southwest of the city, authorities said.

At about 1:30 p.m., deputies responded to the 4500 block of West Teton Road to a report of shots fired, said Deputy Ryan Inglett, a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman.

The neighborhood is south of West Valencia Road and east of South Camino de Oeste.

When deputies arrived, they learned that an earlier domestic violence incident between a man and a woman led to the shooting, said Inglett. The woman suffered injuries in the domestic violence incident with her boyfriend, but she did not need to be taken to a hospital, Inglett said.

He said a relative of the woman's shot her boyfriend, but no details were immediately available.

The boyfriend was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Inglett said.

He said the identity of the shooting suspect is known, and authorities were searching for him.
