Authorities have taken action against 18-year-old Trinity Calhoun, who stands accused of shooting her mother during the confrontation.
The victim, a 35-year-old woman whose identity remains undisclosed, suffered a gunshot wound to her right leg. The injuries sustained were not life-threatening, and she was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
HPD says Calhoun arrived at the residence to pick up her child. What began as a routine visit quickly escalated into a heated dispute. Calhoun allegedly resorted to using a firearm, shooting her own mother before leaving the scene. Law enforcement officers later located and apprehended her a few miles away from the site of the incident.
