An Avondale woman enraged by her married boyfriend’s fling with another woman grabbed a gun and shot him in the back during a confrontation Sunday morning, authorities said.
Sylvia Moore, 53, was arrested and booked with attempted second-degree murder, according to Capt. Jason Rivarde, spokesman for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.

No condition information was available for Moore's boyfriend on Monday.
The shooting occurred just before 8 a.m. at Moore’s home in the 200 block of Travis Drive, Rivarde said.
Although the victim is married to another woman, he and Moore had been dating off and on for about eight years, according to deputies.
Moore learned that her boyfriend had been unfaithful with another woman who is not his wife, according to Rivarde.
“She confronted him about an affair, she got angry, she pulled a gun and started shooting,” Rivarde said.
The man suffered a gunshot wound to his shoulder and back, authorities said.
Moore was taken into custody at her home. She was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna where she was being held without bond Monday
