TN: Mental Case Shot by Sweetwater Homeowner

At approximately 6:38 p.m., the sheriff’s office said deputies were then dispatched to the home on Brunner Road because of a reported home invasion. The homeowner had been woken up by his dogs barking and lights being on inside of the home. When the homeowner went to investigate, the he found the unknown man and escorted him outside at gun point while waiting for law enforcement to arrive, the sheriff’s office explained.

While they were waiting, MCSO said the man shoved the homeowner down and re-entered the home, locking the homeowner out. Because there were other people in the home who were being placed in danger, the homeowner discharged his firearm, striking the man, the sheriff’s office said. The release continues to say that the man continued through the home before exiting and collapsing in the lawn.
