Just after 1 p.m. July 20, Port Arthur police responded to a call in reference to a shooting at Avery Trace Apartments, according to a news release.

Upon arrival, officers found a male subject at the scene suffering from a gunshot wound to his lower extremities. Investigation revealed this male subject approached an apartment and knocked on the door, according to the release, while completely naked. The woman who lives in the apartment opened the door and the male subject walked in without permission.

That's when the woman discharged her weapon, striking the male subject and leaving him with non-life threatening injuries. The unnamed man was transported to a local hospital for treatment. No arrests were made and the case will be reviewed by the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office.
