Posted

BAY MINETTE — On Feb. 25, at approximately 9 p.m. the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office  was notified of a shooting at 46211 Old Carney Rd in Bay Minette. The occupants are Allen Jones,  Aleisha Jones and their two small children.

Allen Jones stated he had removed his Glock .40 handgun from the glove box of his truck and was walking through a screened porch area attached to the main house when he tripped and fell. He reportedly shot himself in his left leg just above the knee.

He began yelling for his wife who was inside of the home bathing their young son. Their daughter was asleep in her bedroom.

Aleisha ran into the screened area where she tried to secure the gun but her son beat her to the gun. When she reached to get it from the child a round was fired. This round struck Aleisha in the left side of her neck.

A neighbor heard a shot and the yelling and came to assist Aleisha. Allen Jones called 9-11. Both were transported to University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile.

Investigators responded to the scene and worked the case with the deputies on scene.

The scene and stories seem to parallel each other. At last report, the Jones' were in stable condition. Injuries do not appear to be life threatening.

Further investigation pending. There are no charges at this time.
