As a result of the investigation, Brandy Maglaughlin, 42, of Hermiston was arrested and lodged into the Umatilla County Jail on charges of second-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon.

Deputies responded to the residence just after 5 a.m. Monday after UCSO received a 911 call reporting a man had been shot.
