The Wildwood Police Department responded to a distress call around 11:30 p.m. on a Saturday. Witnesses reported hearing an argument that escalated to gunfire, as detailed in an arrest report obtained by WKMG.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered a woman suffering from a gunshot wound to her neck, lying in a driveway. She was immediately airlifted to a hospital, where she is fighting for her life.

Robert Anthony Morgan, 40, was arrested and charged with attempted felony murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and discharging a firearm in public or on residential property.

Police said Morgan was seen crawling under a partially open garage door before jumping into a backyard pool. Officers pulled him from the water and took him into custody.

The victim’s mother told investigators there was a history of domestic violence between Morgan and the victim. She said she saw him drag the woman back onto the property after the shooting, according to WKMG.
