A man was arrested after becoming irate and firing shots when he came home and discovered his baby’s mama had a new man.

The 18-year-old boyfriend tried to leave the home where the 18-year-old woman and her ex, Tommy Andujar, 22, of the 2300 block of South Franklin Street, reside at 5:15 a.m. Sunday, but Andujar is believed to have become infuriated, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Andujar allegedly grabbed a black rifle from his bedroom and fired multiple shots inside the home.

As the boyfriend left the area on his bike, Andujar allegedly fired at least two more shots outside — one struck the boyfriend in the right leg while the other went through the living room window and struck a dining room wall, Tolliver said. The victim rode about three blocks to the 600 block of Jackson Street before calling police. He was transported to HUP where he was treated and released. No one else was injured.

Andujar was taken into custody outside his home. Police also recovered the weapon and narcotics on him, Tolliver said. He was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, possession and firearm violations

“Good reporting for "when he came home and discovered his baby's mama had a new man." The writer is very professional. Andujar has been nothing but trouble for years. He has went after his ex-girlfriend on many occassions. Once with a pair of scissors and she has a scar on her face under her right eye. His ex-girlfriend took care of him after a near fatal car accident a couple of years ago and this is how he repays her by demonstrating nothing but domestic violence. At least she was smart enough to get away from him. Hopefully he will go away for a while. At least the baby was no where around when this incident happened. Very grateful and blessed that nothing happened to Samantha...”
