Reidsville, NC-- Investigators with the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office have charged a man with assault with a deadly weapon after he admitted to shooting his wife.

Deputies were called to the scene of a shooting on Garrison Road Monday morning around 1:30am. They found the victim, Darlene Pinnix lying across her bed in severe pain.

Pinnix told police that when she got home her husband, Lonnie, seemed agitated. She says she laid down and that is when her husband, Lonnie Pinnix, held a gun to her head and demanded that she get up. She said before she could get up, he shot her in the back.

Investigators say she suffered a powder burn from the close contact gunshot and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

The husband, Lonnie Pinnix, told police he loaded the pistol with toilet paper rather than a bullet and had shot his wife because she would not leave.

Lonnie Irvin Pinnix, 38, of Reidsville is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. His bond was set at $1,000.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the paper even came out fast enough to hurt her or even at all tbh.
