            O’Malley’s husband was rushed to the AMITA Health Saint Joseph Medical Center by The Joliet Fire Department after he was shot multiple times.

O’Malley was charged with aggravated domestic battery, aggravated battery, and aggravated discharge of a firearm. According to Joliet Police reports “the victim indicated that his wife shot him, and she was still in the residence.” The report goes on to say, “officers surrounded the house and ordered O’Malley to exit the residence. O’Malley came out of the residence a short time later and was taken into custody without incident.” After searching the house, a firearm was located. The reason for the shooting is still under investigation and O’Malley’s bail fee has yet to be announced.
