A 32-year-old Crete woman is facing multiple felony charges after authorities say she shot her husband inside their home while five children were present.

According to the Will County Sheriff’s Office, Capricia Price has been charged with Aggravated Battery with a Firearm, Aggravated Domestic Battery, Aggravated Battery, and Unlawful Use of a Weapon without a valid FOID card.

Deputies were dispatched at approximately 1:05 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28, to a residence in the 1100 block of East Goodenow Road in Crete for a reported shooting.

When deputies arrived, they located five juveniles inside the home, ranging in age from a toddler to a teenager. Authorities said none of the children were injured.

Investigators determined the shooting occurred inside the residence, and deputies recovered a firearm at the scene.

According to the preliminary investigation, Price allegedly left the home with the victim following the shooting. At approximately 1:26 p.m., a hospital in Dyer, Indiana, notified the Will County Sheriff’s Office that a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper chest had been dropped off by a woman who left the hospital before authorities arrived.

The victim was later airlifted to a Chicago-area hospital for treatment. Officials said he is expected to survive.

Authorities said Price later returned to the residence, where she was taken into custody by deputies and transported to the Will County Sheriff’s Office for questioning.

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) was contacted due to the children being present during the incident. Two DCFS caseworkers responded, interviewed the children, and had them evaluated at a nearby hospital as a precaution. The children were later released into the care of a relative.

Price was booked into the Will County Adult Detention Facility, where she remains held without bond.

She is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, July 31, at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 202.

As with all criminal cases, the charges are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
