A woman was shot in the leg Thursday night during an “armed family disturbance,” according to Grover Beach police.

According to a Grover Beach Police Department news release, officers were dispatched to the 300 block of North 16th Street just after 6 p.m. for a report of an “armed family disturbance with shots fired.”

Officers at the scene contacted a woman outside of the home and determined there were two more adults still inside. One was a man who was armed with a pistol, according to the release.

Police later identified the male as Larry Robert Furr, 73, of Grover Beach.

The officers established a perimeter around the home with assistance from the Arroyo Grande Police Department, Pismo Beach Police Department, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office, California Highway Patrol and San Luis Obispo County Probation.

After a half hour, a second woman ran from the home and was contacted by officers. She appeared to have been shot in the leg, according to the release.

Furr left the home unarmed about 30 minutes after the second woman ran out, and he followed the commands of officers before being taken into custody without incident, according to the release.

He was booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of assault with a firearm on a person and discharge of a firearm in a gross negligent manner. Furr’s bail is set at $50,000.

On Friday, the Grover Beach Police department said that the 33-year-old woman was treated for a gunshot wound to her leg at a local hospital and released.

Her identity is not being released.

Detectives with the Grover Beach Police Department are conducting the investigation into the incident.
