The Daily Times (TN) reports that a 35-year old man was shot with a 20-gauge shotgun for allegedly trying to force his way into a friend's home in search of his estranged wife.

Jeffrey Lynn Fugate was verbally warned several times to back off, but proceeded to kick in the front door anyway. The occupant, Paul Summers, is apparently either a bad shot, or showed mercy on Fugate, and shot him in the legs.

Fugate was later captured by a Deputy, and is expected to recover from his wounds.
