Stepfather shoots stepson in West Knox County



A Knox County stepfather shoots his stepson to stop him from attacking another family member.



It happened Tuesday night in a West Knox County home in the Cabbott Ridge subdivision.



Sheriff Tim Hutchison says Ronnie Chandler shot 29 year old Albert Cannon once in the stomach.



The sheriff says Cannon was beating his 48 year old aunt, who apparently came to confront him about sexually assaulting her daughter, Cannon's cousin.



The sheriff confirms Cannon was indicted last year for sexual assault.



"It's obvious the 29 year old is having some problems," Sheriff Hutchison say. "And he kept beating his aunt, and his stepdad and mom couldn't stop stop it, except for shooting him one time."



No charges are expected to be filed against the stepfather.
