ORIGINAL: The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest after a possible shooting at a residence on Craft Road in Athens.

Deputies responded after a 911 call was made about a shooting at the residence, according to Sheriff Josh McLaughlin. That person was transported to the hospital at that time.

There are no updates on their exact injuries at this time. The sheriff did say there was evidence of a shooting but they are still investigating.

When deputies arrived, Guenther had a gun and barricaded himself in a back bedroom with family. The sheriff said they were able to negotiate and get him to release the children. McLaughlin said they were also able to get him release a woman.

He said the deputies were able to talk Guenther down and get him to come out without any further incident.

“I’m very proud of my officers and the way they conducted the situation and were able to remedy it without anybody getting hurt (once they were on scene),” Sheriff McLaughlin said.

The subject has been transported to the jail and charges are pending. The sheriff’s office is still processing the scene. Return to The News Courier for updates.

Update: LCSO originally said Guenther released his “wife” from the home but they have since learned the woman was Guenther’s girlfriend and updated their information. The News Courier has updated this story to reflect that.
