Warsaw, Kentucky

From the June 15, 2005 Cincinnati Post:

Investigators are trying to determine whether it was self-protection or aggression that left a Warsaw man with a gunshot wound to the leg Monday night.

No arrests have been made in the 11:25 p.m. shooting that sent James McMahon, 20, to University Hospital in Cincinnati.

Anthony "Scott" Cooper, 26, of Walton called deputies to 12 S. Main St. in Walton at 11:22 p.m. complaining that a man was at his door, refusing to leave, said Boone County Sheriff's Department spokesman Deputy Tom Scheben.

...

"McMahon was banging on the door and Cooper called police and said he's banging on the door and if he comes in, I'm going to shoot him," Scheben said of the call recorded by Boone County dispatch.

Scheben said it appears that McMahon did enter the apartment and was shot about three minutes after the original call to dispatch, when there was a second call reporting a shooting.

McMahon was apparently unarmed, Scheben said, but it remains unclear whether he forced his way into the apartment.

Kentucky law permits residents to shoot intruders who break into their homes in some circumstances, but Scheben could not say whether those circumstances existed in Cooper's apartment Monday night.
