A man from Berea has been charged with attempted murder — domestic violence after he allegedly shot his wife in the head, according to court documents.
Police were dispatched to a home on Logston Heights at 6:24 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a call from someone about a shooting, according to the Berea Police Department. Arriving officers detained Aaron Clark, 38, without incident after he surrendered.

The woman was transported to the hospital. Police said she was in stable condition as of Wednesday morning.
It’s unknown if anyone else was home during the shooting, police said.
Clark is being held at the Madison County Detention Center.
