Blake Seylhouwer

Radio talk host Blake Seylhouwer has been arrested and charged with shooting his wife Tuesday evening.  She had filed for a protection order against him, according to wcpo.com.

The 37-year-old Seylhouwer hosts the talk show Small Business Sunday on WKRC 550 AM.

According to police Seylhouwer waited until his wife Misty Seylhouwer turned her back before he purposely fired a shot in her direction in their driveway at about 2:40 p.m.

The bullet ricocheted off the ground and struck his wife in the head, leg, stomach and neck, according to Madeira Police Chief Frank Maupin.

Investigators said they initially treated the incident as an accidental shooting and did not charge Blake. It was later determined an argument took place between the couple before the shooting.

"I shot my wife accidentally,” Blake told a 911 dispatcher after the gun fired.

Misty was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Officials said she is going to be OK, and her injuries are not life threatening.

She is listed as an executive producer for 55WKRC on her Facebook page. Blake Seylhouwer's LinkedIn page says he is the president and owner of a local commercial cleaning franchising business, Jani-King, and is president of a private commercial real-estate investment firm.
