A Winfield woman faces charges after shooting her husband, who is divorcing her, on March 21, court records allege.

Kimberly M. Freeman, 44, was charged Saturday with aggravated battery, two counts of domestic battery and one count of criminal recklessness.

After the shooting, she went to the police station with the gun in her purse to turn herself in. The town police clerk told her to sit in the lobby until a Winfield police officer and Lake County Sheriff’s deputies arrived to arrest her.

Court filings show she is jailed, held on a $4,000 cash bond. A court date has not been set.

Winfield Police responded at 8:47 a.m. March 21 for a reported shooting on the 10000 block of Nelson Street.

The victim, Freeman’s husband, was lying on the front lawn shot once in the buttock. He said she fired three shots at him. Later at the hospital, nurses said bullet fragments were left in his body.

Online records show the husband first filed for divorce in Cook County Circuit Court on Feb. 5. It appeared to be taken off the court’s docket on Feb. 28, before another motion was filed March 20.

The man told police that he was talking on the phone on March 21 when his wife found the latest filing in the divorce case on her desk.

Kimberly started yelling she would file for divorce in Indiana, he said.

The man said he was standing by the back sliding glass door when his wife showed and he realized she shot at him. The first shot missed. As he ducked, a second shot hit him. The third shattered the sliding door. His wife was in the house three minutes before she started shooting, he said.

“I’m not going to play with you,” she said.

A relative, who was home, said he heard arguing but was in his bedroom the whole time, police wrote.
