DONALDSONVILLE Ascension Parish sheriff's deputies have arrested a Donaldsonville woman on allegations she shot another woman in the face during an argument earlier this week.

Andrea Jackson, 49,302 Claiborne St., Donaldsonville, was arrested Tuesday on counts of attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of weapons, Sheriff's Chief Deputy Bobby Webre said in a statement.

Sheriff's deputies responded to a home on Claiborne Street Tuesday night and found a woman who had been shot in the face, Webre said.

Deputies later learned that the victim and Jackson had been in an argument when Jackson reached for a handgun and shot the woman, Webre said. Deputies could not say on Thursday what the source of the argument was.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Webre said.

After Jackson's arrest Tuesday, she was booked into the Ascension Parish Prison near Donaldsonville but no bail had been set as of Thursday morning, Webre said.
