SANFORD, Fla. – A woman was shot by her longtime boyfriend — not her son as earlier stated by authorities — late Sunday in Seminole County, sheriff’s officials said.
The shooting happened around 11 p.m. in the 3600 block of Main Street, not far from Canaan Avenue near Sanford.

In an arrest report, deputies said that 50-year-old Jan Henry Jr. had been heard threatening to kill a woman at a home in the area before three gunshots rang out.
Witnesses told investigators that Henry was then seen leaving the home before walking away along Main Street — a firearm in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other, the report shows.
The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said the woman was shot multiple times and was taken to a hospital, though her condition has since stabilized. Deputies earlier said the woman was shot in the arm and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
On Monday afternoon, the sheriff’s office announced Henry had been taken into custody.
Henry Jr. faces charges of attempted first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. According to the sheriff’s office, he was previously found guilty of battery against someone 65 years or older in 2019.
