The two struggled over Calloway's gun and Calloway fired several shots, wounding Mullins, the sheriff's office said. Mullins got control of the weapon and shot Calloway.
Mullins was treated and released from Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petesrburg, the sheriff's office said.
Calloway was taken to Tampa General Hospital, where he is listed in critical but stable condition.
No charges have been filed and the investigation is continuing.
